     - When we compile the graph, we turn it into a LangChain [Runnable](https://python.langchain.com/v0.2/docs/concepts/#runnable-interface), which automatically enables calling `.invoke()`, `.stream()` and `.batch()` with your inputs

 Under the hood, checkpointing is powered by checkpointer objects that conform to [BaseCheckpointSaver][langgraph.checkpoint.base.BaseCheckpointSaver] interface. LangGraph provides several checkpointer implementations, all implemented via standalone, installable libraries:
 
-* `langgraph-checkpoint`: The base interface for checkpointer savers ([BaseCheckpointSaver][langgraph.checkpoint.base.BaseCheckpointSaver]) and serialization/deserialization interface ([SerializerProtocol][langgraph.checkpoint.serde.base.SerializerProtocol]). Includes in-memory checkpointer implementation ([MemorySaver][langgraph.checkpoint.memory.MemorySaver]) for experimentation. LangGraph comes with `langgraph-checkpoint` included.
