As a LangChain user streaming a tool-calling model, I expect each streamed chunk to expose structured `tool_call_chunk` content blocks so I can render or process tool calls live, instead of waiting for the final aggregated message. This adds `tool_call_streaming` to `ModelProfile` and uses it in the standard chat-model tool-calling tests. When a model profile opts in, `test_tool_calling` and `test_tool_calling_async` now validate that at least one streamed chunk includes a `tool_call_chunk` block via `content_blocks`, while preserving the existing final-message validation. This keeps the contract profile-gated so providers can opt in once their streaming chunk shape is verified. This PR opts in the providers verified by smoke testing with straightforward profile coverage: OpenAI, Anthropic, Fireworks, HuggingFace, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, and xAI. The generated profile artifacts are refreshed so runtime profiles expose the new capability flag. Perplexity Responses also passed the smoke test, but its current profile data is for the `sonar` family while the Responses smoke path used a routed model string. That profile strategy is left as follow-up. MistralAI currently streams `.tool_call_chunks`, but its content-block translator exposes a complete `tool_call` block instead of `tool_call_chunk`, so it also stays out of this flag until that integration is fixed.
The agent engineering platform.
LangChain is a framework for building agents and LLM-powered applications. It helps you chain together interoperable components and third-party integrations to simplify AI application development — all while future-proofing decisions as the underlying technology evolves.
Tip
Just getting started? Check out Deep Agents — a higher-level package built on LangChain for agents that have built-in capabilites for common usage patterns such as planning, subagents, file system usage, and more.
Quickstart
pip install langchain
# or
uv add langchain
from langchain.chat_models import init_chat_model
model = init_chat_model("openai:gpt-5.4")
result = model.invoke("Hello, world!")
If you're looking for more advanced customization or agent orchestration, check out LangGraph, our framework for building controllable agent workflows.
For an equivalent JS/TS library, check out LangChain.js.
Tip
For developing, debugging, and deploying AI agents and LLM applications, see LangSmith.
LangChain ecosystem
While the LangChain framework can be used standalone, it also integrates seamlessly with any LangChain product, giving developers a full suite of tools when building LLM applications.
- Deep Agents — Build agents that can plan, use subagents, and leverage file systems for complex tasks
- LangGraph — Build agents that can reliably handle complex tasks with our low-level agent orchestration framework
- Integrations — Chat & embedding models, tools & toolkits, and more
- LangSmith — Agent evals, observability, and debugging for LLM apps
- LangSmith Deployment — Deploy and scale agents with a purpose-built platform for long-running, stateful workflows
Why use LangChain?
LangChain helps developers build applications powered by LLMs through a standard interface for models, embeddings, vector stores, and more.
- Real-time data augmentation — Easily connect LLMs to diverse data sources and external/internal systems, drawing from LangChain's vast library of integrations with model providers, tools, vector stores, retrievers, and more
- Model interoperability — Swap models in and out as your engineering team experiments to find the best choice for your application's needs. As the industry frontier evolves, adapt quickly — LangChain's abstractions keep you moving without losing momentum
- Rapid prototyping — Quickly build and iterate on LLM applications with LangChain's modular, component-based architecture. Test different approaches and workflows without rebuilding from scratch, accelerating your development cycle
- Production-ready features — Deploy reliable applications with built-in support for monitoring, evaluation, and debugging through integrations like LangSmith. Scale with confidence using battle-tested patterns and best practices
- Vibrant community and ecosystem — Leverage a rich ecosystem of integrations, templates, and community-contributed components. Benefit from continuous improvements and stay up-to-date with the latest AI developments through an active open-source community
- Flexible abstraction layers — Work at the level of abstraction that suits your needs — from high-level chains for quick starts to low-level components for fine-grained control. LangChain grows with your application's complexity
