ConversationTokenBufferMemorymantém um buffer de interações recentes na memória e usa o tamanho do token em vez do número de interações para determinar quando liberar as interações.

Ou seja, esta classe guarda em memória as recentes interações em um buffer, usando o comprimento dos tokens em vez do número de interações para determinar quando as interações devem ser liberadas do buffer.

Vamos primeiro ver como usar os utilitários

from langchain.memory import ConversationTokenBufferMemory
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
llm = OpenAI()
memory = ConversationTokenBufferMemory(llm=llm, max_token_limit=10)
memory.save_context({"input": "hi"}, {"output": "whats up"})
memory.save_context({"input": "not much you"}, {"output": "not much"})
memory.load_memory_variables({})
{'history': 'Human: not much you\nAI: not much'}

Usando em uma chain

Vamos percorrer um exemplo, configurando novamente verbose=True para que possamos ver o prompt.

from langchain.chains import ConversationChain
conversation_with_summary = ConversationChain(
llm=llm,
# We set a very low max_token_limit for the purposes of testing.
memory=ConversationTokenBufferMemory(llm=OpenAI(), max_token_limit=60),
verbose=True
)
conversation_with_summary.predict(input="Hi, what's up?")
> Entering new ConversationChain chain...
Prompt after formatting:
The following is a friendly conversation between a human and an AI. The AI is talkative and provides lots of specific details from its context. If the AI does not know the answer to a question, it truthfully says it does not know.
Current conversation:Human: Hi, what's up?
AI:
> Finished chain.
" Hi there! I'm doing great, just enjoying the day. How about you?"
conversation_with_summary.predict(input="Just working on writing some documentation!")
> Entering new ConversationChain chain...

" Yes, I have heard of LangChain! It is a decentralized language-learning platform that connects native speakers and learners in real time. Is that the documentation you're writing about?"
# We can see here that the buffer is updated
conversation_with_summary.predict(input="Haha nope, although a lot of people confuse it for that")

" Oh, I see. Is there another language learning platform you're referring to?"
