Using in a chain
ConversationTokenBufferMemory#
ConversationTokenBufferMemory keeps a buffer of recent interactions in memory, and uses token length rather than number of interactions to determine when to flush interactions.
Let’s first walk through how to use the utilities
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"}, {"ouput": "whats up"})
memory.save_context({"input": "not much you"}, {"ouput": "not much"})
memory.load_memory_variables({})
{'history': 'Human: not much you\nAI: not much'}
We can also get the history as a list of messages (this is useful if you are using this with a chat model).
memory = ConversationTokenBufferMemory(llm=llm, max_token_limit=10, return_messages=True)
memory.save_context({"input": "hi"}, {"ouput": "whats up"})
memory.save_context({"input": "not much you"}, {"ouput": "not much"})
Using in a chain#
Let’s walk through an example, again setting verbose=True so we can see the 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?")

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!")

" 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?"
