"""Abstract base class for creating structured sequences of calls to components.
Chains should be used to encode a sequence of calls to components like
models, document retrievers, other chains, etc., and provide a simple interface
to this sequence.
The Chain interface makes it easy to create apps that are:
- Stateful: add Memory to any Chain to give it state,
- Observable: pass Callbacks to a Chain to execute additional functionality,
like logging, outside the main sequence of component calls,
- Composable: the Chain API is flexible enough that it is easy to combine
Chains with other components, including other Chains.
The main methods exposed by chains are:
- `__call__`: Chains are callable. The `__call__` method is the primary way to
execute a Chain. This takes inputs as a dictionary and returns a
dictionary output.
- `run`: A convenience method that takes inputs as args/kwargs and returns the
output as a string or object. This method can only be used for a subset of
chains and cannot return as rich of an output as `__call__`.
