-  Key Features:
-
-    - **Input**: Accepts natural language strings, structured inputs (e.g.,
-      `pg.Object`), and templates (`lf.Template`) with modality objects.
-
-    - **Output**: Returns structured outputs when `schema` is specified;

-
-    - **Few-shot examples**: Supports structured few-shot examples with the

+  **Key Features:**
+
+  *   **Input**: Accepts natural language strings, structured inputs (e.g.,
+    `pg.Object`), templates (`lf.Template`) with modality objects, messages (
+    `lf.Message`) with modality objects, or objects that can be converted to
+    `lf.Message` (see `lf.Message.from_value` for details).
+  *   **Output**: Returns structured outputs when `schema` is specified;
+    otherwise, outputs raw natural language (as a string).
+  *   **Few-shot examples**: Supports structured few-shot examples with the
+    `examples` argument.
+  *   **Multi-LM fan-out**: Sends queries to multiple language models for
+    multiple samples in parallel, returning a list of outputs.
+
+  **Basic Usage:**
+
+  1.  **Natural Language Query**:
+      If `schema` is not provided, `lf.query` returns a natural language
+      response:
+      ```python
+      r = lf.query('1 + 1 = ?', lm=lf.llms.Gemini25Flash())
+      print(r)
+      # Output: 2
+      ```
+
+  2.  **Structured Output**:
+      If `schema` is provided, `lf.query` guides LLM to directly generate
+      response according to the specified schema, it then parses the response
+      into a Python object:
+      ```python
+      r = lf.query('1 + 1 = ?', int, lm=lf.llms.Gemini25Flash())
+      print(r)
+      # Output: 2
+      ```
+
+  **Advanced Usage:**
+
+  1.  **Structured Input**:
+      Besides natural language, `prompt` can be a `pg.Object`, whose symbolic
+      representation will be sent to the LLM:
+      ```python
+      class Sum(pg.Object):
+        a: int
+        b: int
+      r = lf.query(Sum(1, 1), int, lm=lf.llms.Gemini25Flash())
+      print(r)
+      # Output: 2
+      ```
+
+  2.  **Multi-Modal Input**:
+      `lf.query` supports prompts containing multi-modal inputs, such as images
+      or audio, by embedding modality objects within a template string:
+      ```python
+      image = lf.Image.from_path('/path/to/image.png')
+      r = lf.query(
+          'what is in the {{image}}?',
+          str,
+          image=image,
+          lm=lf.llms.Gemini25Flash()
+      )
+      print(r)
+      # Output: A cat sitting on a sofa.
+      ```
+
+  3.  **Few-Shot Examples**:
+      You can provide few-shot examples to guide model behavior using the
+      `examples` argument. Each example is an `lf.MappingExample` containing
+      `input`, `output`, and, if needed, `schema`.
+      ```python
+      class Sentiment(pg.Object):
+        sentiment: Literal['positive', 'negative', 'neutral']
+        reason: str
+
+      r = lf.query(
+          'I love this movie!',
+          Sentiment,
+          examples=[
+              lf.MappingExample(
+                  'This movie is terrible.',
+                  Sentiment(sentiment='negative', reason='The plot is boring.')
+              ),
+              lf.MappingExample(
+                  'It is okay.',
+                  Sentiment(sentiment='neutral', reason='The movie is average.')
+              ),
+          ],
+          lm=lf.llms.Gemini25Flash())
+      print(r)
+      # Output:
+      # Sentiment(
+      #     sentiment='positive',
+      #     reason='The user expresses positive feedback.')
+      # )
+      ```
+
+  4.  **Multi-LM Fan-Out**:
+      `lf.query` can concurrently query multiple language models by providing
+      a list of LMs to the `lm` argument and specifying the number of samples
+      for each with `num_samples`.
+      ```python
+      r = lf.query(
+          '1 + 1 = ?',
+          int,
+          lm=[lf.llms.Gemini25Flash(), lf.llms.Gemini()],
+          num_samples=[1, 2])
+      print(r)
+      # Output: [2, 2, 2]
+      ```
