LangChain / LangGraph
Overview
LangChain is LangChain Inc.'s open-source agent framework with a pre-built agent architecture and integrations for any model or tool; LangGraph is the same company's low-level orchestration runtime, and LangChain itself runs on LangGraph's durable runtime — framework and runtime layers of one stack.
