Elior Nataf LackritzandGitHub 6aa0afba68 fix(checkpoint): default InMemorySaver delta history to the latest checkpoint (#9257)
`InMemorySaver.get_delta_channel_history` looked its target up by
`config["configurable"].get("checkpoint_id", "")`, so a config without a
`checkpoint_id` matched no checkpoint, and every channel came back with
no seed and no writes, which a `DeltaChannel` reads as empty. The base
implementation, `PostgresSaver` and `SqliteSaver` read from the thread's
latest checkpoint instead, as `get_tuple` does.

A missing id now resolves to the namespace's newest checkpoint id, with
the same `max` that `InMemorySaver.get_tuple` uses. Graphs always pass a
checkpoint id here, so only direct callers of the saver API were
affected, and a call with an id does the same work as before.

Thanks @Hotragn, who pinned this down on #8242, where @longquanzheng's
branch had already fixed it.

## Tests

- `test_get_channel_writes_without_checkpoint_id_reads_the_latest` fails
on main (`{'messages': {'writes': []}}`).
- The `checkpoint`, `checkpoint-conformance`, `checkpoint-sqlite`,
`checkpoint-postgres` (Postgres 16), `prebuilt` and `langgraph` suites
pass, the last two without their Redis cases. The DeltaChannel
conformance suite also passes against `InMemorySaver`; CI skips that run
in `libs/checkpoint`, where the conformance package isn't installed, so
the new test lives in `test_memory.py`.

Low-level orchestration framework for building stateful agents.

PyPI - License PyPI - Downloads Version Twitter / X

Trusted by companies shaping the future of agents – including Klarna, Replit, Elastic, and more – LangGraph is a low-level orchestration framework for building, managing, and deploying long-running, stateful agents.

pip install -U langgraph

Tip

If you're looking to quickly build agents, check out Deep Agents — a higher-level package built on LangGraph for agents that can plan, use subagents, and leverage file systems for complex tasks.

For an equivalent JS/TS library, check out LangGraph.js and the JS docs.

Why use LangGraph?

LangGraph provides low-level supporting infrastructure for any long-running, stateful workflow or agent:

  • Durable execution — Build agents that persist through failures and can run for extended periods, automatically resuming from exactly where they left off.
  • Human-in-the-loop — Seamlessly incorporate human oversight by inspecting and modifying agent state at any point during execution.
  • Comprehensive memory — Create truly stateful agents with both short-term working memory for ongoing reasoning and long-term persistent memory across sessions.
  • Debugging with LangSmith — Gain deep visibility into complex agent behavior with visualization tools that trace execution paths, capture state transitions, and provide detailed runtime metrics.
  • Production-ready deployment — Deploy sophisticated agent systems confidently with scalable infrastructure designed to handle the unique challenges of stateful, long-running workflows.

Tip

For developing, debugging, and deploying AI agents and LLM applications, see LangSmith.

LangGraph ecosystem

While LangGraph can be used standalone, it also integrates seamlessly with any LangChain product, giving developers a full suite of tools for building agents.

To improve your LLM application development, pair LangGraph with:

  • Deep Agents – Build agents that can plan, use subagents, and leverage file systems for complex tasks.
  • LangChain – Provides integrations and composable components to streamline LLM application development.
  • LangSmith – Helpful for agent evals and observability. Debug poor-performing LLM app runs, evaluate agent trajectories, gain visibility in production, and improve performance over time.
  • LangSmith Deployment – Deploy and scale agents effortlessly with a purpose-built deployment platform for long-running, stateful workflows. Discover, reuse, configure, and share agents across teams – and iterate quickly with visual prototyping in LangSmith Studio.
