We've had a big launch week this past week (funding! LangChain & LangGraph 1.0! LangSmith agents!), but today is an even more special day... LangChain's third birthday!
Three years ago, on October 24th of 2022, I released the first version of LangChain as a Python package. It was relatively simple (800? lines of code) and had something like 3 LLM integrations and 3 different chains.
I could have never anticipated what the future would hold.
To me, there's been two components that have made the past three years the most fulfilling of my life:
1. The opportunity to explore a new space, that I genuinely believe will be transformative
2. The opportunity to do it alongside all of you (the whole LangChain community)
There are many different parts of the community: open source contributors, partners in the ecosystem, all the companies from startups to enterprises that build on top of us, the people who report bugs on Twitter. We really do appreciate all the feedback, ideas, engagement, and contributions.
Our goal is figure out what the agents of the future look like, and then build tools to help make them real. Our community - you - is indispensable in making that a reality. No one - including us - really knows what the agents of the future look like. You help us get closer to that truth. And not just us, but the industry at large.
🎂LangChain turned 3️⃣ this week! It's been three years since the langchain Python package was released into the wild, and as LangChain has grown, our community has grown alongside us.
Thank you for building with us, hosting events with us, creating content, sharing feedback, and pushing the ecosystem forward.
