Model components in Langflow

Model components generate text using large language models.

Refer to your specific component's documentation for more information on parameters.

Use a model component in a flow

Model components receive inputs and prompts for generating text, and the generated text is sent to an output component.

The model output can also be sent to the Language Model port and on to a Parse Data component, where the output can be parsed into structured Data objects.

This example has the OpenAI model in a chatbot flow. For more information, see the Basic prompting flow.
