`langchain_core._api.deprecation` previously did `from
pydantic.v1.fields import FieldInfo as FieldInfoV1` at module scope,
which triggers Pydantic's `UserWarning("Core Pydantic V1 functionality
isn't compatible with Python 3.14 or greater.")` on every
`langchain_core` import under 3.14+. The v1 symbol is only needed inside
one runtime branch of `@deprecated`, so it's now resolved lazily.
## Changes
- Replace the top-level v1 `FieldInfo` import with
`_is_pydantic_v1_field_info`, which probes
`sys.modules.get("pydantic.v1.fields")` instead of forcing the import.
The reconstruction inside `deprecated`'s `finalize` closure imports
`FieldInfoV1` lazily, gated by the predicate — so the warning only fires
if a caller has already loaded `pydantic.v1` themselves.
- Add a subprocess-based regression test asserting that importing
`langchain_core._api.deprecation` does not pull any `pydantic.v1*`
module into `sys.modules`. Verified to fail when the eager import is
reintroduced.
- Add a v1 `FieldInfo` decoration test — the v1 branch of `@deprecated`
previously had zero direct coverage.
- Update the stale `# Last Any should be FieldInfoV1 but this leads to
circular imports` comment on `T`'s bound, which no longer reflects the
real reason (it's about the 3.14 warning, not circularity).

Quick Install
pip install langchain-core
🤔 What is this?
LangChain Core contains the base abstractions that power 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.
⛰️ 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.
