|
## Quick Install
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install langchain-core
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What is it?
|
|
|
|
LangChain Core contains the base abstractions that power the the LangChain ecosystem.
|
|
|
|
These abstractions are designed to be as modular and simple as possible.
|
|
|
|
The benefit of having these abstractions is that any provider can implement the required interface and then easily be used in the rest of the LangChain ecosystem.
|
|
|
|
For full documentation see the [API reference](https://reference.langchain.com/python/).
|
|
|
|
## ⛰️ Why build on top of LangChain Core?
|
|
|
|
The LangChain ecosystem is built on top of `langchain-core`. Some of the benefits:
|
|
|
|
- **Modularity**: We've designed Core around abstractions that are independent of each other, and not tied to any specific model provider.
|
|
- **Stability**: We are committed to a stable versioning scheme, and will communicate any breaking changes with advance notice and version bumps.
|
|
- **Battle-tested**: Core components have the largest install base in the LLM ecosystem, and are used in production by many companies.
