**Description:**
a third party package not listed in the default valid namespaces cannot
pass test_serdes because the load() does not allow for extending the
valid_namespaces.
test_serdes will fail with -
ValueError: Invalid namespace: {'lc': 1, 'type': 'constructor', 'id':
['langchain_other', 'chat_models', 'ChatOther'], 'kwargs':
{'model_name': '...', 'api_key': '...'}, 'name': 'ChatOther'}
this change has test_serdes automatically extend valid_namespaces based
off the ChatModel under test's namespace.
- Test if models support forcing tool calls via `tool_choice`. If they
do, they should support
- `"any"` to specify any tool
- the tool name as a string to force calling a particular tool
- Add `tool_choice` to signature of `BaseChatModel.bind_tools` in core
- Deprecate `tool_choice_value` in standard tests in favor of a boolean
`has_tool_choice`
Will follow up with PRs in external repos (tested in AWS and Google
already).
Motivation: dedicated structured output features are becoming more
common, such that integrations can support structured output without
supporting tool calling.
Here we make two changes:
1. Update the `has_structured_output` method to default to True if a
model supports tool calling (in addition to defaulting to True if
`with_structured_output` is overridden).
2. Update structured output tests to engage if `has_structured_output`
is True.
## Goal
Solve the following problems with `langchain-openai`:
- Structured output with `o1` [breaks out of the
box](https://langchain.slack.com/archives/C050X0VTN56/p1735232400232099).
- `with_structured_output` by default does not use OpenAI’s [structured
output
feature](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).
- We override API defaults for temperature and other parameters.
## Breaking changes:
- Default method for structured output is changing to OpenAI’s dedicated
[structured output
feature](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/structured-outputs).
For schemas specified via TypedDict or JSON schema, strict schema
validation is disabled by default but can be enabled by specifying
`strict=True`.
- To recover previous default, pass `method="function_calling"` into
`with_structured_output`.
- Models that don’t support `method="json_schema"` (e.g., `gpt-4` and
`gpt-3.5-turbo`, currently the default model for ChatOpenAI) will raise
an error unless `method` is explicitly specified.
- To recover previous default, pass `method="function_calling"` into
`with_structured_output`.
- Schemas specified via Pydantic `BaseModel` that have fields with
non-null defaults or metadata (like min/max constraints) will raise an
error.
- To recover previous default, pass `method="function_calling"` into
`with_structured_output`.
- `strict` now defaults to False for `method="json_schema"` when schemas
are specified via TypedDict or JSON schema.
- To recover previous behavior, use `with_structured_output(schema,
strict=True)`
- Schemas specified via Pydantic V1 will raise a warning (and use
`method="function_calling"`) unless `method` is explicitly specified.
- To remove the warning, pass `method="function_calling"` into
`with_structured_output`.
- Streaming with default structured output method / Pydantic schema no
longer generates intermediate streamed chunks.
- To recover previous behavior, pass `method="function_calling"` into
`with_structured_output`.
- We no longer override default temperature (was 0.7 in LangChain, now
will follow OpenAI, currently 1.0).
- To recover previous behavior, initialize `ChatOpenAI` or
`AzureChatOpenAI` with `temperature=0.7`.
- Note: conceptually there is a difference between forcing a tool call
and forcing a response format. Tool calls may have more concise
arguments vs. generating content adhering to a schema. Prompts may need
to be adjusted to recover desired behavior.

Populate API reference for test class properties and test methods for
chat models.
Also:
- Make `standard_chat_model_params` private.
- `pytest.skip` some tests that were previously passed if features are
not supported.
