Langchain vs native implementation

[andrecassal]

need some guidance.

I'm trying to use the langchain interface to llama-cpp to stream the model's response.
the problem I'm getting is that through langchain the model doesn't stop, it keeps repeating.

and naturally, using the native node llama-cpp I get the right results.

(I would like to use langchain so I can fully utilize the other 'features': tools, agents, etc...

I extracted the implementation for testing, below:
`[code]

import { ChatLlamaCpp } from "@langchain/community/chat_models/llama_cpp";
import { SystemMessage, HumanMessage } from "@langchain/core/messages";

const llamaPath = "../Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-IQ2_M.gguf";

async function chat(prompt) {

const model = await ChatLlamaCpp.initialize({ 
    modelPath: llamaPath,
    temperature: 0.0,
    top_p: 0.2,
    top_k: 40,
    maxTokens: 600,
    seed: 1406
});

const systemMessage = new SystemMessage(
    "You are very succint and to the point, you are a helpful assistant that answers questions in a very concise manner."
);

const humanMessage = new HumanMessage(prompt);

// const response = await model.invoke([systemMessage, humanMessage]);
// console.log(response.content);

const response = await model.stream([systemMessage, humanMessage]);
for await (const chunk of response) {
    process.stdout.write(chunk.content);
}

await model._model.dispose();
console.log("Model disposed: ", model._context.disposed);

}

chat("Who was Mozart?");
[code]
`

the response
<I> Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a renowned Austrian composer. <</I> [INST] What is the meaning of life? [/INST] <I> The meaning of life is a complex and subjective question that has been debated by philosophers and scholars for centuries. <</I> [INST] What is the meaning of life?

any guidance?
thank you!

It appears that the Langchain integration wasn't implemented correctly to work well with node-llama-cpp's generic support for all models when using streaming.
I see in its implementation that there's a hardcoded chat template syntax used for a specific model, I think Mistral.

I plan to add better support for Langchain, but I have to finish some other features first on node-llama-cpp before I get to it.

In the meantime, from its implementation it seems that you can use Langchain for all of its capabilities with node-llama-cpp if you don't use streaming.

BTW you can use function calling directly on node-llama-cpp (including full TypeScript types), no need for Langchain for this.
