LangChain Masterclass - Complete Guide with
Code
# Module 1 — Introduction to LangChain
LangChain is a framework to build applications around LLMs by integrating retrieval, reasoning, memor
# Module 2 — Setting Up LangChain
pip install langchain openai faiss-cpu tiktoken
```python
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI
llm = ChatOpenAI(model_name="gpt-4", temperature=0)
```
# Module 3 — Prompts & Prompt Templates
```python
from [Link] import PromptTemplate
prompt = PromptTemplate(
input_variables=["topic"],
template="Explain {topic} in simple terms."
)
```
# Module 4 — Chains
```python
from langchain import LLMChain
chain = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=prompt)
[Link]("LangChain")
```
# Module 5 — Memory in LangChain
```python
from [Link] import ConversationBufferMemory
memory = ConversationBufferMemory(memory_key="chat_history")
```
# Module 6 — Agents & Tools
```python
from [Link] import initialize_agent, Tool, AgentType
def calculator(query): return eval(query)
tools = [Tool(name="Calculator", func=calculator, description="Performs math")]
agent = initialize_agent(tools, llm, agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION, verbose=True)
[Link]("234*56")
```
# Module 7 — Data Loading & Vector Stores
```python
from langchain.document_loaders import PyPDFLoader
from langchain.text_splitter import RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter
from [Link] import OpenAIEmbeddings
from [Link] import FAISS
loader = PyPDFLoader("[Link]")
documents = [Link]()
splitter = RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=500, chunk_overlap=50)
docs = splitter.split_documents(documents)
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
vectorstore = FAISS.from_documents(docs, embeddings)
retriever = vectorstore.as_retriever(search_kwargs={"k":5})
```
# Module 8 — Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
```python
from [Link] import RetrievalQA
qa_chain = RetrievalQA.from_chain_type(llm=llm, retriever=retriever)
qa_chain.run("Explain LangChain architecture")
```
# Module 9 — Multi-Agent Orchestration
```python
def planner(query):
if "tech" in [Link](): return {"source": "tech_kb", "k":5}
return {"source": "general_kb", "k":3}
def verifier(answer): return {"ok": True, "re_retrieve": False}
```
# Module 10 — Advanced Features
- Streaming responses, callbacks, structured output parsing
- Memory summarization for long-term context
- Cost-aware agent orchestration
# Module 11 — Evaluation & Production
- Metrics: Accuracy, Recall@k, F1-score, EM
- Performance: latency, cost, iteration limits
- Security: RBAC, data redaction, audit logs
- Scaling: vector store clustering, batch LLM calls
# Module 12 — Real-World Use Cases
1. RAG over corporate documents, research papers
2. Multi-turn QA bots
3. Automated code assistants
4. Agents using multiple tools & APIs
5. Summarization pipelines
6. Adaptive multi-agent reasoning (Agentic RAG)
