Hi there, I'm Célina from 🤗,
This PR introduces support for Hugging Face's serverless Inference
Providers (documentation
[here](https://huggingface.co/docs/inference-providers/index)), allowing
users to specify different providers for chat completion and text
generation tasks.
This PR also removes the usage of `InferenceClient.post()` method in
`HuggingFaceEndpoint`, in favor of the task-specific `text_generation`
method. `InferenceClient.post()` is deprecated and will be removed in
`huggingface_hub v0.31.0`.
---
## Changes made
- bumped the minimum required version of the `huggingface-hub` package
to ensure compatibility with the latest API usage.
- added a `provider` field to `HuggingFaceEndpoint`, enabling users to
select the inference provider (e.g., 'cerebras', 'together',
'fireworks-ai'). Defaults to `hf-inference` (HF Inference API).
- replaced the deprecated `InferenceClient.post()` call in
`HuggingFaceEndpoint` with the task-specific `text_generation` method
for future-proofing, `post()` will be removed in huggingface-hub
v0.31.0.
- updated the `ChatHuggingFace` component:
- added async and streaming support.
- added support for tool calling.
- exposed underlying chat completion parameters for more granular
control.
- Added integration tests for `ChatHuggingFace` and updated the
corresponding unit tests.
✅ All changes are backward compatible.

Follow up to https://github.com/langchain-ai/langsmith-sdk/pull/1696,
I've bumped the `langsmith` version where applicable in `uv.lock`.
Type checking problems here because deps have been updated in
`pyproject.toml` and `uv lock` hasn't been run - we should enforce that
in the future - goes with the other dependabot todos :).
Generally, this PR is CI performance focused + aims to clean up some
dependencies at the same time.
1. Unpins upper bounds for `numpy` in all `pyproject.toml` files where
`numpy` is specified
2. Requires `numpy >= 2.1.0` for Python 3.13 and `numpy > v1.26.0` for
Python 3.12, plus a `numpy` min version bump for `chroma`
3. Speeds up CI by minutes - linting on Python 3.13, installing `numpy <
2.1.0` was taking [~3
minutes](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/actions/runs/14316342925/job/40123305868?pr=30713),
now the entire env setup takes a few seconds
4. Deleted the `numpy` test dependency from partners where that was not
used, specifically `huggingface`, `voyageai`, `xai`, and `nomic`.
It's a bit unfortunate that `langchain-community` depends on `numpy`, we
might want to try to fix that in the future...
