**Description:**
Adds support for prompt caching usage metadata in ChatGroq. The
integration now captures cached token information from the Groq API
response and includes it in the `input_token_details` field of the
`usage_metadata`.
Changes:
- Created new `_create_usage_metadata()` helper function to centralize
usage metadata creation logic
- Extracts `cached_tokens` from `prompt_tokens_details` in API responses
and maps to `input_token_details.cache_read`
- Integrated the helper function in both streaming
(`_convert_chunk_to_message_chunk`) and non-streaming
(`_create_chat_result`) code paths
- Added comprehensive unit tests to verify caching metadata handling and
backward compatibility
This enables users to monitor prompt caching effectiveness when using
Groq models with prompt caching enabled.
**Issue:** N/A
**Dependencies:** None

- There was some ambiguous wording that has been updated to hopefully
clarify the functionality of `reasoning_format` in ChatGroq.
- Added support for `reasoning_effort`
- Added links to see models capable of `reasoning_format` and
`reasoning_effort`
- Other minor nits
Llama-3.1 started failing consistently with

- 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).
The default model for `ChatGroq`, `"mixtral-8x7b-32768"`, is being
retired on March 20, 2025. Here we remove the default, such that model
names must be explicitly specified (being explicit is a good practice
here, and avoids the need for breaking changes down the line). This
change will be released in a minor version bump to 0.3.
This follows https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/pull/30161
(released in version 0.2.5), where we began generating warnings to this
effect.

Groq is retiring `mixtral-8x7b-32768`, which is currently the default
model for ChatGroq, on March 20. Here we emit a warning if the model is
not specified explicitly.
A version 0.3.0 will be released ahead of March 20 that removes the
default altogether.
Here we allow standard tests to specify a value for `tool_choice` via a
`tool_choice_value` property, which defaults to None.
Chat models [available in
Together](https://docs.together.ai/docs/chat-models) have issues passing
standard tool calling tests:
- llama 3.1 models currently [appear to rely on user-side
parsing](https://docs.together.ai/docs/llama-3-function-calling) in
Together;
- Mixtral-8x7B and Mistral-7B (currently tested) consistently do not
call tools in some tests.
Specifying tool_choice also lets us remove an existing `xfail` and use a
smaller model in Groq tests.
- Mixtral with Groq has started consistently failing tool calling tests.
Here we restrict testing to llama 3.1.
- `.schema` is deprecated in pydantic proper in favor of
`.model_json_schema`.
resolves https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/issues/23911
When an AIMessageChunk is instantiated, we attempt to parse tool calls
off of the tool_call_chunks.
Here we add a special-case to this parsing, where `""` will be parsed as
`{}`.
This is a reaction to how Anthropic streams tool calls in the case where
a function has no arguments:
```
{'id': 'toolu_01J8CgKcuUVrMqfTQWPYh64r', 'input': {}, 'name': 'magic_function', 'type': 'tool_use', 'index': 1}
{'partial_json': '', 'type': 'tool_use', 'index': 1}
```
The `partial_json` does not accumulate to a valid json string-- most
other providers tend to emit `"{}"` in this case.
- add test for structured output
- fix bug with structured output for Azure
- better testing on Groq (break out Mixtral + Llama3 and add xfails
where needed)
