LLMs can summarize and otherwise distill desired information from text, including large volumes of text. In many cases, especially when the amount of text is large compared to the size of the model's context window, it can be helpful (or necessary) to break up the summarization task into smaller components.

What is "config" in this example and how is it utilized? It doesn't seem to be used. Thanks in advance.

@khoodj The config parameter is a object used to control the behavior of the Runnable. In this case, it is using the default implementation (doesn't change anything), but it is there if you want to add metadata or modify something
