Jonathan Pedoeem 05ad399abe Update PromptLayerOpenAI LLM to include support for ASYNC API (#1066)
This PR updates `PromptLayerOpenAI` to now support requests using the
[Async
API](https://langchain.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules/llms/async_llm.html)
It also updates the documentation on Async API to let users know that
PromptLayerOpenAI also supports this.

`PromptLayerOpenAI` now redefines `_agenerate` a similar was to how it
redefines `_generate`

Async API for LLM

LangChain provides async support for LLMs by leveraging the asyncio library.

Async support is particularly useful for calling multiple LLMs concurrently, as these calls are network-bound. Currently, only OpenAI and PromptLayerOpenAI is supported, but async support for other LLMs is on the roadmap.

You can use the agenerate method to call an OpenAI LLM asynchronously.

In [5]:
import time
import asyncio

from langchain.llms import OpenAI

def generate_serially():
    llm = OpenAI(temperature=0.9)
    for _ in range(10):
        resp = llm.generate(["Hello, how are you?"])
        print(resp.generations[0][0].text)


async def async_generate(llm):
    resp = await llm.agenerate(["Hello, how are you?"])
    print(resp.generations[0][0].text)


async def generate_concurrently():
    llm = OpenAI(temperature=0.9)
    tasks = [async_generate(llm) for _ in range(10)]
    await asyncio.gather(*tasks)


s = time.perf_counter()
# If running this outside of Jupyter, use asyncio.run(generate_concurrently())
await generate_concurrently() 
elapsed = time.perf_counter() - s
print('\033[1m' + f"Concurrent executed in {elapsed:0.2f} seconds." + '\033[0m')

s = time.perf_counter()
generate_serially()
elapsed = time.perf_counter() - s
print('\033[1m' + f"Serial executed in {elapsed:0.2f} seconds." + '\033[0m')
