## Benefits
1. **Type Safety**: Compile-time validation of required fields and
proper type setting
2. **Less Boilerplate**: No need to manually set the `type` field or
generate IDs
3. **Input Validation**: Runtime validation prevents common errors
(e.g., base64 without MIME type)
4. **Consistent Patterns**: Standardized creation patterns across all
block types
5. **Better Developer Experience**: Cleaner, more intuitive API than
manual TypedDict construction. Also follows similar other patterns (e.g.
`create_react_agent`, `init_chat_model`
## **Description:**
This PR updates the internal documentation link for the RAG tutorials to
reflect the updated path. Previously, the link pointed to the root
`/docs/tutorials/`, which was generic. It now correctly routes to the
RAG-specific tutorial page for the following vector store docs.

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.
