Quick Fix: Use the AzureOpenAI class to handle Azure API key setup. Here’s an example:

from langchain.llms import AzureOpenAI

llm = AzureOpenAI(
    deployment_name="YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_NAME",
    model_name="text-davinci-002",
)

llm("Tell me a joke")

The Problem:

Unable to run a simple langchain application. Encountered an "InvalidRequestError" exception with the following message:

Must provide an 'engine' or 'deployment_id' parameter to create a <class 'openai.api_resources.completion.Completion'>

The error suggests that either an ‘engine’ or ‘deployment_id’ parameter needs to be specified. However, the provided code snippet doesn’t include these parameters.

The Solutions:

Solution 1: Use Azure-Specific llm Interface

From the error traceback, it’s evident that you’re using Azure credentials. To resolve this issue, utilize the ‘AzureOpenAI’ class, which caters to configuring Azure-specific setups.

from langchain.llms import AzureOpenAI

# Create an instance of AzureOpenAI
# Replace the deployment name with your own
llm = AzureOpenAI(
    deployment_name="td2",
    model_name="text-davinci-002", 
)

llm("Tell me a joke")

This approach leverages a dedicated interface for Azure deployments, ensuring proper configuration and resolution of your issue.

Solution 2: Restart IDE

The issue can sometimes be with the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) itself. In this case, a simple restart of Jupyter notebook or switching to a different IDE such as VSCode could resolve the problem.

Q&A

Why I am facing InvalidRequestError when trying to run simple Langchain sample code while it was working before?

You might be using an Azure key and need to instantiate with AzureOpenAI class.

How to instantiate the AzureOpenAI class?

Replace deployment name with your own: `llm = AzureOpenAI(deployment_name="td2", model_name="text-davinci-002").

Why does llm() work in a Python file but not a Jupyter notebook?

Unknown; try copying the code from the notebook into a Python file and running it via VSCode.
