<p><strong>Language Model</strong> components in Langflow generate text using a specified Large Language Model (LLM).</p>
<p>Langflow includes a <strong>Language Model</strong> core component that has built-in support for many LLMs.
Alternatively, you can use any <a href="#additional-language-models">additional language model</a> in place of the core <strong>Language Model</strong> component.</p>
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithHideOnScrollNavbar_WYt5" id="use-language-model-components-in-a-flow">Use Language Model components in a flow<a href="#use-language-model-components-in-a-flow" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Use Language Model components in a flow" title="Direct link to Use Language Model components in a flow"></a></h2>
<p>Use <strong>Language Model</strong> components anywhere you would use an LLM in a flow.</p>
<p>These components accept inputs like chat messages, files, and instructions in order to generate a text response.
The flow must include <a href="/components-io#chat-io"><strong>Chat Input and Output</strong> components</a> to allow chat-based interactions with the LLM.
However, you can also use the <strong>Language Model</strong> component for actions that don&#x27;t emit chat output directly, such as the <strong>Smart Function</strong> component.</p>
<p>The following example uses the <strong>Language Model</strong> core component to create a chatbot flow similar to the <strong>Basic Prompting</strong> template.
It also explains how you can replace the core component with another LLM.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Add the <strong>Language Model</strong> component to your flow.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In the <strong>OpenAI API Key</strong> field, enter your OpenAI API key.</p>
<p>This example uses the default OpenAI model and a built-in Anthropic model to compare responses from different providers.
If you want to use a different provider, edit the <strong>Model Provider</strong>, <strong>Model Name</strong>, and <strong>API Key</strong> fields accordingly.</p>

<p><strong>Language Model</strong> components, including the core component and bundled components, can produce two types of output:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Model Response</strong>: The default output type emits the model&#x27;s generated response as <a href="/data-types#message"><code>Message</code> data</a>.
Use this output type when you want the typical LLM interaction where the LLM produces a text response based on given input.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Language Model</strong>: Change the <strong>Language Model</strong> component&#x27;s output type to <a href="/data-types#languagemodel"><code>LanguageModel</code></a> when you need to attach an LLM to another component in your flow.
This is a specific data type that is only required by certain components, such as the <a href="/components-processing#smart-function"><strong>Smart Function</strong> component</a>.</p>
<p>With this configuration, the <strong>Language Model</strong> component is meant to support an action completed by another component, rather than producing a text response for a standard chat-based interaction.
For an example, the <strong>Smart Function</strong> component uses an LLM to create a function from natural language input.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="anchor anchorWithHideOnScrollNavbar_WYt5" id="additional-language-models">Additional language models<a href="#additional-language-models" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Additional language models" title="Direct link to Additional language models"></a></h2>
<p>If your provider or model isn&#x27;t supported by the <strong>Language Model</strong> core component, additional provider-specific models are available in the <a href="/components-bundle-components"><strong>Bundles</strong></a> section of the <strong>Components</strong> menu.</p>
<p>You can use these provider-specific components directly in your flows in the same place that you would use the <strong>Language Model</strong> core component.
Or, you can connect them to other components that accept a <a href="/data-types#languagemodel"><code>LanguageModel</code></a> input, such as the <strong>Smart Function</strong> and <strong>Agent</strong> components.</p>
<p>For example, to connect a provider-specific component to the <strong>Agent</strong> component, do the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>In the <strong>Components</strong> menu, search for your preferred model provider, and then add the provider&#x27;s LLM component to your flow.
The component may not have <code>model</code> in the name.
For example, Azure OpenAI LLMs are in the <a href="/bundles-azure#azure-openai"><strong>Azure OpenAI</strong> component</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Configure the LLM component as needed to connect to your preferred model.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Change the LLM component&#x27;s output type from <strong>Model Response</strong> to <strong>Language Model</strong>.
The output port changes to a <code>LanguageModel</code> port.
For more information, see <a href="#language-model-output-types">Language Model output types</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Add an <strong>Agent</strong> component to the flow, and then set <strong>Model Provider</strong> to <strong>Custom</strong>.
The <strong>Model Provider</strong> field changes to a <strong>Language Model</strong> field with a <code>LanguageModel</code> port.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Connect the LLM component&#x27;s output to the <strong>Agent</strong> component&#x27;s <strong>Language Model</strong> input.
The <strong>Agent</strong> component now inherits the LLM settings from the connected LLM component instead of using any of the built-in models.</p>
