|
||||||
|
## What is it?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
LangChain Community contains third-party integrations that implement the base interfaces defined in LangChain Core, making them ready-to-use in any LangChain application.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For full documentation see the [API reference](https://api.python.langchain.com/en/stable/community_api_reference.html).

## Quick Install
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
pip install langchain-core
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## What is it?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
LangChain Core contains the base abstractions that power the rest of the LangChain ecosystem.
|
||||||
|
These abstractions are designed to be as modular and simple as possible.
|
||||||
|
Examples of these abstractions include those for language models, document loaders, embedding models, vectorstores, retrievers, and more.
|
||||||
|
The benefit of having these abstractions is that any provider can implement the required interface and then easily be used in the rest of the LangChain ecosystem.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For full documentation see the [API reference](https://api.python.langchain.com/en/stable/core_api_reference.html).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## What is LangChain Expression Language?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
LangChain Core also contains LangChain Expression Language, or LCEL, a runtime that allows users to compose arbitrary sequences together and get several benefits that are important when building LLM applications.
|
||||||
|
We call these sequences “runnables”.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All runnables expose the same interface with single-invocation, batch, streaming and async methods.
|
||||||
|
This design is useful because it is not enough to have a single sync interface when building an LLM application.
|
||||||
|
Batch is needed for efficient processing of many inputs.
|
||||||
|
Streaming (and streaming of intermediate steps) is needed to show the user that progress is being made.
|
||||||
|
Async interfaces are nice when moving into production.
|
||||||
|
Rather than having to write multiple implementations for all of those, LCEL allows you to write a runnable once and invoke it in many different ways.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For more check out the [LCEL docs](https://python.langchain.com/docs/expression_language/).

## 📕 Releases & Versioning
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`langchain-core` is currently on version `0.1.x`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As `langchain-core` contains the base abstractions and runtime for the whole LangChain ecosystem, we will communicate any breaking changes with advance notice and version bumps. The exception for this is anything in `langchain_core.beta`. The reason for `langchain_core.beta` is that given the rate of change of the field, being able to move quickly is still a priority, and this module is our attempt to do so.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Minor version increases will occur for:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Breaking changes for any public interfaces NOT in `langchain_core.beta`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Patch version increases will occur for:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Bug fixes
|
||||||
|
- New features
|
||||||
|
- Any changes to private interfaces
|
||||||
|
- Any changes to `langchain_core.beta`
|
||||||
