What LangChain Is: an Open Agent Framework, Not a Model Brand

MIT. Compose models, tools and retrieval. LangGraph / LangSmith are related products, not the same package.

Read original

A framework, not ChatGPT

LangChain is how you write LLM components in code. Official README: agent engineering platform.

Three names

LangChain the framework, LangGraph workflows, LangSmith observability. Separate installs and docs.

Vs Dify / OpenAI Agents SDK

Visual, less code → Dify. Thin official OpenAI library → Agents SDK. Many integrations in code → LangChain.

Hub: /en/langchain.
