LangChain announces updates for LangGraph Cloud, LangSmith, and LangGraph documentation, along with upcoming events and hackathons.
LangChain, a leading platform in the AI development space, has released its latest updates, showcasing new use cases and enhancements across its ecosystem. According to the LangChain Blog, the updates cover advancements in LangGraph Cloud, LangSmith's self-improving evaluators, and revamped documentation for LangGraph.
LangSmith: Self-Improving Evaluators
LangSmith has introduced a significant enhancement allowing humans to correct “LLM-as-Judge” evaluations. This feedback loop is designed to improve the accuracy of future evaluations by incorporating human corrections as few-shot examples. Users can refer to a demonstration video for integrating self-improving evaluators into their datasets.
LangGraph Cloud: Versatile Use Cases
LangGraph Cloud continues to expand its utility for running large-scale LLM applications. Notable use cases include building full-stack generative UI apps, deploying Discord bots that learn from conversations, and creating self-corrective RAG applications to handle model hallucinations effectively. Detailed guides and examples can be found in various video tutorials.
Revamped LangGraph Documentation
The LangGraph documentation has been overhauled to provide clearer, more actionable guides. New sections include:
- Human-in-the-loop: Instructions on adding breakpoints and waiting for user approval.
- Streaming: Guides on streaming graph state and LLM tokens.
- Controllability: Techniques for creating advanced control flows with subgraphs and branches.
