The model name to pass to tiktoken when using this class. Tiktoken is used to count the number of tokens in documents to constrain them to be under a certain limit. By default, when set to None, this will be the same as the embedding model name. However, there are some cases where you may want to use this Embedding class with a model name not supported by tiktoken. This can include when using Azure embeddings or when using one of the many model providers that expose an OpenAI-like API but with different models. In those cases, in order to avoid erroring when tiktoken is called, you can specify a model name to use here.

http_client `class-attribute` `instance-attribute` ¶

http_client: Any | None = Field(default=None, exclude=True)

Optional httpx.Client. Only used for sync invocations. Must specify http_async_client as well if you'd like a custom client for async invocations.

extra_body `class-attribute` `instance-attribute` ¶

extra_body: Mapping[str, Any] | None = None

Optional additional JSON properties to include in the request parameters when making requests to OpenAI compatible APIs, such as vLLM, LM Studio, or other providers.

This is the recommended way to pass custom parameters that are specific to your OpenAI-compatible API provider but not part of the standard OpenAI API.

Examples:

LM Studio TTL parameter: extra_body={"ttl": 300}
vLLM custom parameters: extra_body={"use_beam_search": True}
Any other provider-specific parameters

Warning

Do not use model_kwargs for custom parameters that are not part of the standard OpenAI API, as this will cause errors when making API calls. Use extra_body instead.

include_response_headers `class-attribute` `instance-attribute` ¶

include_response_headers: bool = False

Whether to include response headers in the output message response_metadata.

disabled_params `class-attribute` `instance-attribute` ¶

disabled_params: dict[str, Any] | None = Field(default=None)

Parameters of the OpenAI client or chat.completions endpoint that should be disabled for the given model.

Should be specified as {"param": None | ['val1', 'val2']} where the key is the parameter and the value is either None, meaning that parameter should never be used, or it's a list of disabled values for the parameter.

For example, older models may not support the 'parallel_tool_calls' parameter at all, in which case disabled_params={"parallel_tool_calls": None} can be passed in.

If a parameter is disabled then it will not be used by default in any methods, e.g. in with_structured_output. However this does not prevent a user from directly passed in the parameter during invocation.

include `class-attribute` `instance-attribute` ¶

include: list[str] | None = None

Additional fields to include in generations from Responses API.

Supported values:

'file_search_call.results'

'code_interpreter_call.outputs'

Added in version 0.3.24

service_tier `class-attribute` `instance-attribute` ¶

service_tier: str | None = None

Latency tier for request. Options are 'auto', 'default', or 'flex'. Relevant for users of OpenAI's scale tier service.

store `class-attribute` `instance-attribute` ¶

store: bool | None = None

If True, OpenAI may store response data for future use.

Defaults to True for the Responses API and False for the Chat Completions API.

Added in version 0.3.24

truncation `class-attribute` `instance-attribute` ¶

truncation: str | None = None

Truncation strategy (Responses API). Can be 'auto' or 'disabled' (default). If 'auto', model may drop input items from the middle of the message sequence to fit the context window.

Added in version 0.3.24

use_previous_response_id `class-attribute` `instance-attribute` ¶

use_previous_response_id: bool = False

If True, always pass previous_response_id using the ID of the most recent response. Responses API only.

Input messages up to the most recent response will be dropped from request payloads.

For example, the following two are equivalent:

model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="...",
    use_previous_response_id=True,
)
model.invoke(
    [
        HumanMessage("Hello"),
        AIMessage("Hi there!", response_metadata={"id": "resp_123"}),
        HumanMessage("How are you?"),
    ]
)

model = ChatOpenAI(model="...", use_responses_api=True)
model.invoke([HumanMessage("How are you?")], previous_response_id="resp_123")

Added in version 0.3.26

use_responses_api `class-attribute` `instance-attribute` ¶

use_responses_api: bool | None = None

    default_factory=from_env("LC_OUTPUT_VERSION", default=None)
)

Version of AIMessage output format to use.

This field is used to roll-out new output formats for chat model AIMessage responses in a backwards-compatible way.

Supported values:

'v0': AIMessage format as of langchain-openai 0.3.x.
'responses/v1': Formats Responses API output items into AIMessage content blocks (Responses API only)
'v1': v1 of LangChain cross-provider standard.

Behavior changed in 1.0.0

Default updated to "responses/v1".

These attributes must be accepted by the constructor.

Default is an empty dictionary.

cache `class-attribute` `instance-attribute` ¶

cache: BaseCache | bool | None = Field(default=None, exclude=True)

Whether to cache the response.

If True, will use the global cache.
If False, will not use a cache
If None, will use the global cache if it's set, otherwise no cache.
If instance of BaseCache, will use the provided cache.

Caching is not currently supported for streaming methods of models.

verbose `class-attribute` `instance-attribute` ¶

verbose: bool = Field(default_factory=_get_verbosity, exclude=True, repr=False)

Whether to print out response text.

An optional rate limiter to use for limiting the number of requests.

disable_streaming `class-attribute` `instance-attribute` ¶

disable_streaming: bool | Literal['tool_calling'] = False

Whether to disable streaming for this model.

If streaming is bypassed, then stream/astream/astream_events will defer to invoke/ainvoke.

If True, will always bypass streaming case.
If 'tool_calling', will bypass streaming case only when the model is called with a tools keyword argument. In other words, LangChain will automatically switch to non-streaming behavior (invoke) only when the tools argument is provided. This offers the best of both worlds.
If False (Default), will always use streaming case if available.

The main reason for this flag is that code might be written using stream and a user may want to swap out a given model for another model whose the implementation does not properly support streaming.

build_extra `classmethod` ¶

build_extra(values: dict[str, Any]) -> Any

Build extra kwargs from additional params that were passed in.

validate_temperature `classmethod` ¶

) -> int

Calculate num tokens for gpt-3.5-turbo and gpt-4 with tiktoken package.

Warning

`tool_choice`	Which tool to require the model to call. Options are: `str` of the form `'<<tool_name>>'`: calls `<<tool_name>>` tool. `'auto'`: automatically selects a tool (including no tool). `'none'`: does not call a tool. `'any'` or `'required'` or `True`: force at least one tool to be called. `dict` of the form `{"type": "function", "function": {"name": <<tool_name>>}}`: calls `<<tool_name>>` tool. `False` or `None`: no effect, default OpenAI behavior. TYPE: `dict \| str \| bool \| None` DEFAULT: `None`
`strict`	If `True`, model output is guaranteed to exactly match the JSON Schema provided in the tool definition. The input schema will also be validated according to the supported schemas. If `False`, input schema will not be validated and model output will not be validated. If `None`, `strict` argument will not be passed to the model. TYPE: `bool \| None` DEFAULT: `None`
`parallel_tool_calls`	Set to `False` to disable parallel tool use. Defaults to `None` (no specification, which allows parallel tool use). TYPE: `bool \| None` DEFAULT: `None`

    tools: list | None = None,
    **kwargs: Any,
) -> Runnable[LanguageModelInput, _DictOrPydantic]

Model wrapper that returns outputs formatted to match the given schema.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
`schema`	The output schema. Can be passed in as: an OpenAI function/tool schema, a JSON Schema, a `TypedDict` class, or a Pydantic class. If `schema` is a Pydantic class then the model output will be a Pydantic instance of that class, and the model-generated fields will be validated by the Pydantic class. Otherwise the model output will be a dict and will not be validated. See `langchain_core.utils.function_calling.convert_to_openai_tool` for more on how to properly specify types and descriptions of schema fields when specifying a Pydantic or `TypedDict` class. TYPE: `_DictOrPydanticClass \| None` DEFAULT: `None`
`method`	The method for steering model generation, one of: `'function_calling'`: Uses OpenAI's tool-calling API (formerly called function calling) `'json_schema'`: Uses OpenAI's Structured Output API `'json_mode'`: Uses OpenAI's JSON mode. Note that if using JSON mode then you must include instructions for formatting the output into the desired schema into the model call TYPE: `Literal['function_calling', 'json_mode', 'json_schema']` DEFAULT: `'function_calling'`
`include_raw`	If `False` then only the parsed structured output is returned. If an error occurs during model output parsing it will be raised. If `True` then both the raw model response (a `BaseMessage`) and the parsed model response will be returned. If an error occurs during output parsing it will be caught and returned as well. The final output is always a `dict` with keys `'raw'`, `'parsed'`, and `'parsing_error'`. TYPE: `bool` DEFAULT: `False`
`strict`	`True`: Model output is guaranteed to exactly match the schema. The input schema will also be validated according to the supported schemas. `False`: Input schema will not be validated and model output will not be validated. `None`: `strict` argument will not be passed to the model. TYPE: `bool \| None` DEFAULT: `None`
`tools`	A list of tool-like objects to bind to the chat model. Requires that: `method` is `'json_schema'` (default). `strict=True` `include_raw=True` If a model elects to call a tool, the resulting `AIMessage` in `'raw'` will include tool calls. Example `from langchain.chat_models import init_chat_model from pydantic import BaseModel class ResponseSchema(BaseModel): response: str def get_weather(location: str) -> str: """Get weather at a location.""" pass model = init_chat_model("openai:gpt-4o-mini") structured_model = model.with_structured_output( ResponseSchema, tools=[get_weather], strict=True, include_raw=True, ) structured_model.invoke("What's the weather in Boston?")` `{ "raw": AIMessage(content="", tool_calls=[...], ...), "parsing_error": None, "parsed": None, }` TYPE: `list \| None` DEFAULT: `None`
`kwargs`	Additional keyword args are passed through to the model. TYPE: `Any` DEFAULT: `{}`

RETURNS DESCRIPTION

Runnable[LanguageModelInput, _DictOrPydantic]

A Runnable that takes same inputs as a langchain_core.language_models.chat.BaseChatModel. If include_raw is False and schema is a Pydantic class, Runnable outputs an instance of schema (i.e., a Pydantic object). Otherwise, if include_raw is False then Runnable outputs a dict.

If include_raw is True, then Runnable outputs a dict with keys:

'raw': BaseMessage
'parsed': None if there was a parsing error, otherwise the type depends on the schema as described above.

    exclude_types: Sequence[str] | None = None,
    exclude_tags: Sequence[str] | None = None,
    **kwargs: Any,
) -> AsyncIterator[StreamEvent]

Generate a stream of events.

Use to create an iterator over StreamEvent that provide real-time information about the progress of the Runnable, including StreamEvent from intermediate results.

A StreamEvent is a dictionary with the following schema:

event: Event names are of the format: on_[runnable_type]_(start|stream|end).
name: The name of the Runnable that generated the event.
run_id: Randomly generated ID associated with the given execution of the Runnable that emitted the event. A child Runnable that gets invoked as part of the execution of a parent Runnable is assigned its own unique ID.
parent_ids: The IDs of the parent runnables that generated the event. The root Runnable will have an empty list. The order of the parent IDs is from the root to the immediate parent. Only available for v2 version of the API. The v1 version of the API will return an empty list.
tags: The tags of the Runnable that generated the event.
metadata: The metadata of the Runnable that generated the event.
data: The data associated with the event. The contents of this field depend on the type of event. See the table below for more details.

Below is a table that illustrates some events that might be emitted by various chains. Metadata fields have been omitted from the table for brevity. Chain definitions have been included after the table.

Note

This reference table is for the v2 version of the schema.

event	name	chunk	input	output
`on_chat_model_start`	`'[model name]'`		`{"messages": [[SystemMessage, HumanMessage]]}`
`on_chat_model_stream`	`'[model name]'`	`AIMessageChunk(content="hello")`
`on_chat_model_end`	`'[model name]'`		`{"messages": [[SystemMessage, HumanMessage]]}`	`AIMessageChunk(content="hello world")`
`on_llm_start`	`'[model name]'`		`{'input': 'hello'}`
`on_llm_stream`	`'[model name]'`	`'Hello'`
`on_llm_end`	`'[model name]'`		`'Hello human!'`
`on_chain_start`	`'format_docs'`
`on_chain_stream`	`'format_docs'`	`'hello world!, goodbye world!'`
`on_chain_end`	`'format_docs'`		`[Document(...)]`	`'hello world!, goodbye world!'`
`on_tool_start`	`'some_tool'`		`{"x": 1, "y": "2"}`
`on_tool_end`	`'some_tool'`			`{"x": 1, "y": "2"}`
`on_retriever_start`	`'[retriever name]'`		`{"query": "hello"}`
`on_retriever_end`	`'[retriever name]'`		`{"query": "hello"}`	`[Document(...), ..]`
`on_prompt_start`	`'[template_name]'`		`{"question": "hello"}`
`on_prompt_end`	`'[template_name]'`		`{"question": "hello"}`	`ChatPromptValue(messages: [SystemMessage, ...])`

In addition to the standard events, users can also dispatch custom events (see example below).

Custom events will be only be surfaced with in the v2 version of the API!

A custom event has following format:

Attribute	Type	Description
`name`	`str`	A user defined name for the event.
`data`	`Any`	The data associated with the event. This can be anything, though we suggest making it JSON serializable.

Here are declarations associated with the standard events shown above:

format_docs:

def format_docs(docs: list[Document]) -> str:
    '''Format the docs.'''
    return ", ".join([doc.page_content for doc in docs])


format_docs = RunnableLambda(format_docs)

some_tool:

@tool
def some_tool(x: int, y: str) -> dict:
    '''Some_tool.'''
    return {"x": x, "y": y}

prompt:

template = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
    [
        ("system", "You are Cat Agent 007"),
        ("human", "{question}"),
    ]
).with_config({"run_name": "my_template", "tags": ["my_template"]})

For instance:

from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda


async def reverse(s: str) -> str:
    return s[::-1]


chain = RunnableLambda(func=reverse)

events = [event async for event in chain.astream_events("hello", version="v2")]

# Will produce the following events
# (run_id, and parent_ids has been omitted for brevity):
[
    {
        "data": {"input": "hello"},
        "event": "on_chain_start",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
    {
        "data": {"chunk": "olleh"},
        "event": "on_chain_stream",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
    {
        "data": {"output": "olleh"},
        "event": "on_chain_end",
        "metadata": {},
        "name": "reverse",
        "tags": [],
    },
]
