c87a270e5f
Thank you for contributing to LangChain!
- [ ] **PR title**: "package: description"
- Where "package" is whichever of langchain, community, core, etc. is
being modified. Use "docs: ..." for purely docs changes, "infra: ..."
for CI changes.
- Example: "community: add foobar LLM"
- [ ] **PR message**: ***Delete this entire checklist*** and replace
with
- **Description:** a description of the change
- **Issue:** the issue # it fixes, if applicable
- **Dependencies:** any dependencies required for this change
- **Twitter handle:** if your PR gets announced, and you'd like a
mention, we'll gladly shout you out!
- [ ] **Add tests and docs**: If you're adding a new integration, please
include
1. a test for the integration, preferably unit tests that do not rely on
network access,
2. an example notebook showing its use. It lives in
`docs/docs/integrations` directory.
- [ ] **Lint and test**: Run `make format`, `make lint` and `make test`
from the root of the package(s) you've modified. See contribution
guidelines for more: https://python.langchain.com/docs/contributing/
Additional guidelines:
- Make sure optional dependencies are imported within a function.
- Please do not add dependencies to pyproject.toml files (even optional
ones) unless they are required for unit tests.
- Most PRs should not touch more than one package.
- Changes should be backwards compatible.
- If you are adding something to community, do not re-import it in
langchain.
If no one reviews your PR within a few days, please @-mention one of
baskaryan, eyurtsev, ccurme, vbarda, hwchase17.

Note
Looking for the JS/TS library? Check out LangChain.js.
LangChain is a framework for building 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.
pip install -U langchain
To learn more about LangChain, check out the docs. If you’re looking for more advanced customization or agent orchestration, check out LangGraph, our framework for building controllable agent workflows.
Why use LangChain?
LangChain helps developers build applications powered by LLMs through a standard interface for models, embeddings, vector stores, and more.
Use LangChain for:
- 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.
LangChain’s 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.
To improve your LLM application development, pair LangChain with:
- LangSmith - Helpful for agent evals and observability. Debug poor-performing LLM app runs, evaluate agent trajectories, gain visibility in production, and improve performance over time.
- LangGraph - Build agents that can reliably handle complex tasks with LangGraph, our low-level agent orchestration framework. LangGraph offers customizable architecture, long-term memory, and human-in-the-loop workflows — and is trusted in production by companies like LinkedIn, Uber, Klarna, and GitLab.
- LangGraph Platform - Deploy and scale agents effortlessly with a purpose-built deployment platform for long running, stateful workflows. Discover, reuse, configure, and share agents across teams — and iterate quickly with visual prototyping in LangGraph Studio.
