Extensible registry system for translating AI message content blocks
from various model providers. Refactors the way provider-specific
content is handled, moving from hardcoded logic to a plugin-like
architecture.
Put in `core.utils` this time to prevent other circular import issues
present in the `normalize()` rfc:
`base` imports `content`
`content` imports `ensure_id()` from `base`
re: #32589 cc: @ccurme
- Rename namespace: `messages.content_blocks` -> `messages.content`
- Prefixes and ID logic are now in `messages.common` instead of
`AIMessage` since the logic is shared between messages and message
content. Did this instead of `utils` due to circular import problems
that were hairy
Supersedes #32408
Description:
This PR ensures that tool calls without explicitly provided `args` will
default to an empty dictionary (`{}`), allowing tools with no parameters
(e.g. `def foo() -> str`) to be registered and invoked without
validation errors. This change improves compatibility with agent
frameworks that may omit the `args` field when generating tool calls.
Issue:
See
[langgraph#5722](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/issues/5722)
–
LangGraph currently emits tool calls without `args`, which leads to
validation errors
when tools with no parameters are invoked. This PR ensures compatibility
by defaulting
`args` to `{}` when missing.

**Description:** fix an issue I discovered when attempting to merge
messages in which one message has an `index` key in its content
dictionary and another does not.
Fixes a streaming bug where models like Qwen3 (using OpenAI interface)
send tool call chunks with inconsistent indices, resulting in
duplicate/erroneous tool calls instead of a single merged tool call.
## Problem
When Qwen3 streams tool calls, it sends chunks with inconsistent `index`
values:
- First chunk: `index=1` with tool name and partial arguments
- Subsequent chunks: `index=0` with `name=None`, `id=None` and argument
continuation
The existing `merge_lists` function only merges chunks when their
`index` values match exactly, causing these logically related chunks to
remain separate, resulting in multiple incomplete tool calls instead of
one complete tool call.
```python
# Before fix: Results in 1 valid + 1 invalid tool call
chunk1 = AIMessageChunk(tool_call_chunks=[
{"name": "search", "args": '{"query":', "id": "call_123", "index": 1}
])
chunk2 = AIMessageChunk(tool_call_chunks=[
{"name": None, "args": ' "test"}', "id": None, "index": 0}
])
merged = chunk1 + chunk2 # Creates 2 separate tool calls
# After fix: Results in 1 complete tool call
merged = chunk1 + chunk2 # Creates 1 merged tool call: search({"query": "test"})
```
## Solution
Enhanced the `merge_lists` function in `langchain_core/utils/_merge.py`
with intelligent tool call chunk merging:
1. **Preserves existing behavior**: Same-index chunks still merge as
before
2. **Adds special handling**: Tool call chunks with
`name=None`/`id=None` that don't match any existing index are now merged
with the most recent complete tool call chunk
3. **Maintains backward compatibility**: All existing functionality
works unchanged
4. **Targeted fix**: Only affects tool call chunks, doesn't change
behavior for other list items
The fix specifically handles the pattern where:
- A continuation chunk has `name=None` and `id=None` (indicating it's
part of an ongoing tool call)
- No matching index is found in existing chunks
- There exists a recent tool call chunk with a valid name or ID to merge
with
## Testing
Added comprehensive test coverage including:
- ✅ Qwen3-style chunks with different indices now merge correctly
- ✅ Existing same-index behavior preserved
- ✅ Multiple distinct tool calls remain separate
- ✅ Edge cases handled (empty chunks, orphaned continuations)
- ✅ Backward compatibility maintained
Fixes#31511.

## Problem
ChatLiteLLM encounters a `ValidationError` when using cache on
subsequent calls, causing the following error:
```
ValidationError(model='ChatResult', errors=[{'loc': ('generations', 0, 'type'), 'msg': "unexpected value; permitted: 'ChatGeneration'", 'type': 'value_error.const', 'ctx': {'given': 'Generation', 'permitted': ('ChatGeneration',)}}])
```
This occurs because:
1. The cache stores `Generation` objects (with `type="Generation"`)
2. But `ChatResult` expects `ChatGeneration` objects (with
`type="ChatGeneration"` and a required `message` field)
3. When cached values are retrieved, validation fails due to the type
mismatch
## Solution
Added graceful handling in both sync (`_generate_with_cache`) and async
(`_agenerate_with_cache`) cache methods to:
1. **Detect** when cached values contain `Generation` objects instead of
expected `ChatGeneration` objects
2. **Convert** them to `ChatGeneration` objects by wrapping the text
content in an `AIMessage`
3. **Preserve** all original metadata (`generation_info`)
4. **Allow** `ChatResult` creation to succeed without validation errors
## Example
```python
# Before: This would fail with ValidationError
from langchain_community.chat_models import ChatLiteLLM
from langchain_community.cache import SQLiteCache
from langchain.globals import set_llm_cache
set_llm_cache(SQLiteCache(database_path="cache.db"))
llm = ChatLiteLLM(model_name="openai/gpt-4o", cache=True, temperature=0)
print(llm.predict("test")) # Works fine (cache empty)
print(llm.predict("test")) # Now works instead of ValidationError
# After: Seamlessly handles both Generation and ChatGeneration objects
```
## Changes
- **`libs/core/langchain_core/language_models/chat_models.py`**:
- Added `Generation` import from `langchain_core.outputs`
- Enhanced cache retrieval logic in `_generate_with_cache` and
`_agenerate_with_cache` methods
- Added conversion from `Generation` to `ChatGeneration` objects when
needed
-
**`libs/core/tests/unit_tests/language_models/chat_models/test_cache.py`**:
- Added test case to validate the conversion logic handles mixed object
types
## Impact
- **Backward Compatible**: Existing code continues to work unchanged
- **Minimal Change**: Only affects cache retrieval path, no API changes
- **Robust**: Handles both legacy cached `Generation` objects and new
`ChatGeneration` objects
- **Preserves Data**: All original content and metadata is maintained
during conversion
Fixes#22389.

**Description:** Fixes incorrect `num_skipped` count in the LangChain
indexing API. The current implementation only counts documents that
already exist in RecordManager (cross-batch duplicates) but fails to
count documents removed during within-batch deduplication via
`_deduplicate_in_order()`.
This PR adds tracking of the original batch size before deduplication
and includes the difference in `num_skipped`, ensuring that `num_added +
num_skipped` equals the total number of input documents.
**Issue:** Fixes incorrect document count reporting in indexing
statistics
**Dependencies:** None
Fixes#32272

Ensures proper reStructuredText formatting by adding the required blank
line before closing docstring quotes, which resolves the "Block quote
ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent" warning.
**TL;DR much of the provided `Makefile` targets were broken, and any
time I wanted to preview changes locally I either had to refer to a
command Chester gave me or try waiting on a Vercel preview deployment.
With this PR, everything should behave like normal.**
Significant updates to the `Makefile` and documentation files, focusing
on improving usability, adding clear messaging, and fixing/enhancing
documentation workflows.
### Updates to `Makefile`:
#### Enhanced build and cleaning processes:
- Added informative messages (e.g., "📚 Building LangChain
documentation...") to makefile targets like `docs_build`, `docs_clean`,
and `api_docs_build` for better user feedback during execution.
- Introduced a `clean-cache` target to the `docs` `Makefile` to clear
cached dependencies and ensure clean builds.
#### Improved dependency handling:
- Modified `install-py-deps` to create a `.venv/deps_installed` marker,
preventing redundant/duplicate dependency installations and improving
efficiency.
#### Streamlined file generation and infrastructure setup:
- Added caching for the LangServe README download and parallelized
feature table generation
- Added user-friendly completion messages for targets like `copy-infra`
and `render`.
#### Documentation server updates:
- Enhanced the `start` target with messages indicating server start and
URL for local documentation viewing.
---
### Documentation Improvements:
#### Content clarity and consistency:
- Standardized section titles for consistency across documentation
files.
