Anthropic integration tests can run with LangSmith tracing enabled in
scheduled CI, which sends LangSmith API requests while VCR cassettes are
active. Ignore LangSmith ingest endpoints in the Anthropic VCR config so
cassette playback only matches Anthropic traffic.
## Changes
- Add `api.smith.langchain.com` to the Anthropic VCR `ignore_hosts`
configuration while preserving any hosts from the shared base config.
- Keep existing Anthropic cassette serialization, request redaction, and
response redaction behavior unchanged.
## Summary
- Fix `ChatAnthropic._make_message_chunk_from_anthropic_event` dropping
the first text chunk of an assistant turn when Anthropic carries the
opening text on the `content_block_start` event rather than a following
`text_delta`. This most often hits the assistant turn right after a tool
result.
- The dropped content streams to clients but never reaches the
aggregated `AIMessage`, so anything reading message history back (e.g. a
checkpointer) sees a truncated message (`Here's the answer.` → `'s the
answer.`). Reported via Pylon 25478 (Zip), whose `<canvaspreview>`
parser broke because the dropped chunk was the opening `<can` tag.
- Add a `content_block_start` branch for `text` and `thinking` blocks:
emit non-empty start-event content on both the string
(`coerce_content_to_string=True`) and structured content paths; empty
starts still emit no chunk (preserving prior behavior) and update
`block_start_event` so following deltas resolve against the current
block.

Package-version trace metadata now uses the LangChain-owned
`metadata["lc_versions"]` convention instead of the user-owned
`metadata["versions"]` key. Metadata merging is narrowed so only
`lc_versions` accumulates nested package-version entries, while generic
nested metadata keeps normal last-writer-wins behavior.
## Changes
- Renamed `BaseLanguageModel._add_version()` trace metadata from
`versions` to `lc_versions`, including docstrings and the non-dict
replacement warning.
- Scoped `_merge_metadata_dicts()` nested-map accumulation to only
`lc_versions`; duplicate package entries remain last-writer-wins and
`lc_versions` mappings are copied defensively.
- Preserved user-owned `metadata["versions"]` semantics by keeping it
out of package-version tracking and generic nested metadata merging.
- Updated runnable snapshots and partner package metadata assertions
across Anthropic, DeepSeek, Fireworks, Groq, Hugging Face, MistralAI,
Ollama, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Perplexity, and xAI to expect `lc_versions`.
## Testing
- Added/adjusted core tests for `lc_versions` accumulation, duplicate
package overwrite behavior, non-dict `lc_versions` replacement,
defensive copying, and `metadata["versions"]` last-writer-wins behavior.
- Ran focused core and partner metadata tests plus Ruff checks for
changed areas.

## Summary
Surface partner package versions in `metadata.versions` on LangSmith
traces. Mirrors the JS SDK's `_addVersion()` pattern
([langchainjs#10106](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchainjs/pull/10106)).
Each model constructor records its package version via `_add_version()`
on `BaseLanguageModel`. The version dict accumulates through the class
hierarchy — `langchain-core` is added in
`BaseLanguageModel.model_post_init`, `langchain-openai` in
`BaseChatOpenAI._set_openai_chat_version`, and each leaf partner in its
uniquely-named `model_validator`. Traces end up with:
```json
{
"metadata": {
"versions": {
"langchain-core": "1.4.5",
"langchain-openai": "1.3.0",
"langchain-xai": "1.2.2"
}
}
}
```
### Changes
- `BaseLanguageModel._add_version(pkg, version)` — appends to
`self.metadata["versions"]`; accepts any `Mapping` type; emits a warning
if a non-mapping value is found and replaced
- `BaseLanguageModel.model_post_init` — adds `langchain-core` version;
calls `super()` for MRO safety
- `_merge_metadata_dicts` — one-level-deep (non-recursive) merge for
nested dict metadata keys
- `CallbackManager.add_metadata` — uses `_merge_metadata_dicts` instead
of flat `dict.update()` so nested metadata dicts (like `versions`)
coexist rather than clobber
- `merge_configs` — uses `_merge_metadata_dicts` for config merging
**Partners:**
- Each now calls `self._add_version("langchain-<pkg>", __version__)`
### Design decisions
- **Constructor-based, not `_get_ls_params`-based** — versions flow
through `self.metadata` (local metadata on traces), not through
`LangSmithParams`. This matches JS and makes child-class version
inheritance automatic (no merge/clobber issues).
- **`versions` is local (non-inheritable) metadata** — `self.metadata`
is passed to `CallbackManager.configure` as `local_metadata`
(`add_metadata(..., inherit=False)`), so `versions` is attached **once
per chat-model run** and is **not** propagated to child runs or
duplicated onto every streaming chunk. This is intentionally the
opposite of the inheritable-per-chunk metadata that #36588 was reducing
for performance — `versions` does not regress that path.
- **`add_metadata` deep-merge is a correctness fix, not just for
versions** — previously `add_metadata`/`merge_configs` did a flat
top-level `dict.update`/spread, so any nested metadata dict baked into a
config (e.g. via `.with_config({"metadata": {...}})`) would be wholly
replaced when a caller also passed `metadata`. `_merge_metadata_dicts`
merges one level deep so user-provided `config.metadata.versions` and
model-set `versions` coexist instead of clobbering. The merge runs once
per `configure` (not per chunk), so it is off the streaming hot path.
- **One level deep only** — `_merge_metadata_dicts` is deliberately
*not* a recursive deep merge; values nested more than one level are
last-writer-wins. This covers the `versions` case without the
ambiguity/cost of arbitrary-depth merging.
- **Warn on non-dict `metadata["versions"]`** — if a user sets
`metadata={"versions": "some-string"}`, `_add_version` emits a warning
and replaces the value with the version dict rather than silently
discarding user data or crashing. This is a soft breaking change for
anyone who previously stored non-dict values at this key.
### Follow-ups (tracked separately, out of scope here)
- JS `mergeConfigs` still flat-spreads nested metadata, so
`metadata.versions` can still clobber on the JS side until an equivalent
deep-merge lands.

Warning-producing test paths now either exercise the intended Anthropic
model branch or explicitly assert expected warnings. That keeps `make
test` output clean while preserving coverage for backwards-compatible
parameters, deprecated `AnthropicLLM`, and standard structured-output
behavior.
Anthropic unit tests now pin the expected API base URL where
serialization and initialization assertions depend on it. That keeps
local gateway settings like `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` from changing snapshot
output or default URL assertions during development.

Fixing this at the `langchain-core` callback layer instead of
normalizing inside individual provider integrations, so structured
streaming content is preserved consistently.
---
Models are increasingly streaming structured content blocks instead of
plain text tokens. For example, Gemini 3 can stream text as
content-block lists, and Anthropic/tool-use flows can also produce
non-text message content. Today those values already reach
`on_llm_new_token`, but the callback API still advertises `token: str`,
which makes custom callbacks, tracers, and streaming helpers assume
every streamed value is text.
User story: as a LangChain user building a streaming callback for chat
models with tool calls, reasoning/thinking blocks, or provider-specific
structured content, I need `on_llm_new_token` to accept the same content
shape that chat model chunks can actually emit, so my callback can
observe the stream without providers flattening or dropping non-text
data.
Fixing this in `langchain-core` makes the existing runtime behavior
explicit at the shared callback boundary. Normalizing content blocks
inside each provider would duplicate logic, produce inconsistent
behavior across integrations, and in some cases lose required provider
metadata such as Gemini thought signatures.
## Changes
- Update the callback contract so streamed tokens can be either plain
text or structured content blocks
- Carry structured streamed content through tracing and event/log
streaming paths without forcing provider data into text too early
- Keep built-in text-oriented streaming callbacks working by converting
structured tokens only at the display/queue boundary
- Drop the now-incorrect `cast("str", ...)` on streamed content in
`BaseChatModel` so the producer side matches the widened callback
signature instead of asserting a string it doesn't always have (no
runtime change — `cast` is erased)
- Align Anthropic and Mistral content typing with the structured content
shapes already used by chat model messages
- Update callback tests to reflect that not every streamed value is text
## Compatibility
No runtime behavior change: no producer emits anything it wasn't already
emitting, and widening a parameter type is safe for existing callers and
handlers that pass or receive `str`. The one caveat is downstream code
that subclasses a callback handler or tracer and overrides
`on_llm_new_token` with a `token: str` annotation — under strict type
checking that override is now narrower than the base and will be flagged
as incompatible with the supertype. Such code still runs unchanged; the
fix is to widen the annotation to match.
Anthropic's API rejects `tool_use`/`tool_result` IDs that don't match
`^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$` with a 400. When a conversation thread is replayed
across providers — e.g. a user switches a running thread from Kimi (via
Fireworks) to Claude — the prior turns carry tool-call IDs minted by the
other provider (Kimi emits `functions.write_todos:0`, whose `.` and `:`
are invalid), and the request fails. Tool-call IDs are now normalized to
an Anthropic-compatible form during request formatting, with the
original `tool_use.id` and its paired `tool_use_id` mapped identically
so they stay linked.
Closes#37042

`AnthropicPromptCachingMiddleware` was unconditionally setting top-level
`cache_control` in `model_settings` for any `ChatAnthropic` subclass.
That field is direct-Anthropic-API only — `ChatAnthropicBedrock` (which
subclasses `ChatAnthropic` and passed the existing `isinstance` gate)
errored with `cache_control: Extra inputs are not permitted`.
Investigating that surfaced a related regression: PR #35967 also deleted
the block-level `cache_control` injection in `_get_request_payload`,
which silently disabled caching entirely for non-direct subclasses
(Bedrock had been falling back to in-block breakpoints). This restores
both paths.
## Changes
- Add `_is_direct_anthropic_llm_type` predicate that allowlists
`_llm_type == "anthropic-chat"`. Both the middleware's
`_supports_automatic_caching` and the new branch in
`ChatAnthropic._get_request_payload` route through it, so any subclass
that overrides `_llm_type` (Bedrock today, future direct-API variants
tomorrow) is treated as non-direct by default. Replaces the prior
substring-matching denylist on `"bedrock"`/`"vertex"`.
- Restore `_collect_code_execution_tool_ids`,
`_is_code_execution_related_block`, and a new
`_apply_cache_control_to_last_eligible_block` helper in `chat_models`.
For non-direct subclasses, `_get_request_payload` now pops
`cache_control` from kwargs and walks messages newest-to-oldest,
attaching the breakpoint to the last block that isn't
`code_execution`-related (Anthropic forbids breakpoints on those).
- Emit `UserWarning` when `cache_control` is requested but every
candidate block is `code_execution`-related — previously a silent drop.
- `AnthropicPromptCachingMiddleware._apply_caching` now sets the
top-level `cache_control` only when
`_supports_automatic_caching(request.model)`. System-message and
tool-definition breakpoints continue to apply for all `ChatAnthropic`
subclasses, since those are accepted by every transport.
- Note: `ChatAnthropicVertex` does not subclass `ChatAnthropic` (it
lives in `langchain-google-vertexai` and ships its own
`_get_request_payload`), so the chat-models changes here only affect
Bedrock. The middleware-side gate covers Vertex implicitly via the
`isinstance(request.model, ChatAnthropic)` check that already excludes
it.
Prevent double counting, since the sum of all `input_token_details`
should never exceed `input_tokens`

During an automated code review of .github/scripts/get_min_versions.py,
the following issue was identified. Set a timeout on get min versions
HTTP calls. Network calls without a timeout can hang a worker
indefinitely. I kept the patch small and re-ran syntax checks after
applying it.
## Summary
- Replace `claude-3-5-haiku-20241022` and `claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219`
with `claude-haiku-4-5-20251001` and `claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929`
respectively
- Both models were retired by Anthropic on February 19, 2026, causing
all anthropic integration tests to fail
- Updates integration tests, a unit test, and docstring examples in
`langchain-core`
See:
https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/docs/resources/model-deprecations
Use of the fixture `_base_vcr_config` is deprecated with alternative
function `base_vcr_config()`
This way:
* we don't need to import `_base_vcr_config` seen as unused (which leads
to ruff violations PLC0414 and F811)
* we don't need to make a copy since a new dict is created at each
function invocation
