[LangGraph](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/) is a library for building stateful, multi-actor applications with LLMs.
|
||||
Inspired by [Pregel](https://research.google/pubs/pub37252/) and [Apache Beam](https://beam.apache.org/), LangGraph lets you coordinate and checkpoint multiple chains (or actors) across cyclic computational steps using regular python functions (or [JS](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraphjs)). The public interface draws inspiration from [NetworkX](https://networkx.org/documentation/latest/).
|
||||
|
||||
The main use is for adding **cycles** and **persistence** to your LLM application. If you only need quick Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs), you can already accomplish this using [LangChain Expression Language](https://python.langchain.com/docs/expression_language/).
|
||||
### Why LangGraph?
|
||||
|
||||
Cycles are important for agentic behaviors, where you call an LLM in a loop, asking it what action to take next.

|

LangGraph is framework agnostic (each node is a regular python function). It extends the core Runnable API (shared interface for streaming, async, and batch calls) to make it easy to:
|
||||
|
||||
* Seamlesssly manage state across multiple turns of conversation or tool usage
|
||||
* Flexibly route between nodes based on dynamic criteria
|
||||
* Smoothly switch between LLMs and human intervention
|
||||
* Add persistence for long-running, multi-session applications
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE**: If you only need simple Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs), you can already accomplish this using [LangChain Expression Language](https://python.langchain.com/docs/expression_language/). But for more complex, stateful applications with nonlinear flows, LangGraph is the perfect tool for the job.
