RT LangChain 🔎 Announced at Interrupt: AI Search in LangSmith You used to need an evaluator or read hours of conversations to find traces that answer questions such as: 💬 Does the user seemed frustrated?" 💬 Where did the agent fail to complete the task? 💬 Where is the user trying to cancel their subscription? Now, just describe it. LangSmith returns the traces where it happened. https://www.langchain.com/blog/agent-traces-ai-search-langsmith
we are thinking a lot about how to make deepagents more async native. specifically about making async subagents work better/more prominent one key question is how does a finished subagent "notify" the parent agent? some default behaviors we're considering for when the parent is still running: 1/ interrupt parent run, apply subagent update, continue (basically same as "steer") 2/ wait for parent run to finish, then batch subagent update with any other new messages (basically same as "queue") another question is how to handle human in the loop? what if main agent is not running but paused and waiting explicit human response to an action? a/ wait for human to respond, then batch the subagent update with that b/ resume thread (which would cancel the human interrupt) with the subagent update (thread could then re-ask for the same human approval) any other options we're missing?
RT Josh Rosen While we’re talking about agent tracing, I couldn’t help but mention that @LangChain needed to invent an entirely new database, SmithDB, for LangSmith to accommodate agent traces. Why? - hundreds of nested spans per trace - huge prompts and tool outputs - runs that stay open for hours - events that keep arriving over time - full-text search + JSON filtering

One of my more controversial bets: the AI feed will be the form factor of 2027! Most people don’t know what to prompt, and they won’t prompt their way into complicated agentic workflows. With chat, we ask users for digital labor: figure out what AI can do, explain the task,
View quoted postRT Austin Vance Agents work in many modalities, similar to people, our (human) work is preformed on behalf of ourselves, our teams, or our organizations. When a human does something they often say I updated the deal in Hubspot, or I sent this to Cathy in slack. There we have a human and a tool working in tandem. Other times it's the "the infra team needs us to migrate..." or I submitted a service now ticket to finance. That's a team and system. Companies are the same. With agents we want to know, and audit, action, system, and approver. The future will be "the agent submitted a service now ticket to finance on behalf of Cathy" Agents need identities that are tied to their operation and operator.
what is the future of building internal company agents? how will their identity work? 1. fixed set of credentials 2. "on behalf of" flow (uses credentials of whoever is using it) 3. some fixed credentials, others "on behalf of"

View quoted postRT Alex Lieberman Hot take: evals are the #1 thing keeping companies from becoming AI-native. If you want to understand evals, read this post & then the accompanying guide. Tweaking prompts and trying a few inputs by hand only gets you so far; evals are what get your agents ready for deployment and keep them working once they're live. First, some definitions... - An eval: a grader applied to a trace. - A grader: anything that scores how well the agent did, from a simple code check to an LLM acting as a judge. - A trace: the full record of one agent run: the input, every step it took, and the output. For example, a customer asks "Where is my refund?" The agent calls search_orders, then issue_refund, and replies "Refund sent, 3–5 days." Next, let's dive into graders... Graders come in a few families, and most real setups run several on the same trace. 1) Deterministic checks. Plain code, no model involved. Did the agent call issue_refund exactly once, with the same order ID it looked up? A double refund or a refund on the wrong order fails instantly. 2) Reference-answer graders. Compare the output to a reference answer stored on the case, by exact match or with an LLM judge checking whether the meaning matches. 3) Rubric graders. An LLM judge scores the output against criteria, with no reference answer needed. Is the reply concise? Does it confirm what happened? 4) Trajectory graders. These grade the steps the agent took, not just its final answer. Did it look up the order before issuing the refund? A run that calls issue_refund without checking the order first fails even if the final reply reads perfectly. What are online vs. offline evals? Online evals watch production. Offline evals run in your lab: on demand or in CI, before anything ships. - You need both. Online without offline means you can see problems but can't fix them safely. - Offline without online means you're testing the scenarios you imagined, not the ones your users actually create. - Wha...

RT Jake Broekhuizen We spent a lot of time streamlining the process to go from your agent's trajectories to an SFT'd model on your training/inference provider of choice so you don't have to stitch together the steps manually.

RT Caspar we have seen many companies launch managed agent products recently. today, we released 𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚊𝚐𝚎𝚍-𝚍𝚎𝚎𝚙𝚊𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚜 0.8 I have been asked a few times why managed agent frameworks are useful in an era where "code is free". here is my take: generating code is easy, this is a fact. but as a developer, you still need to decide how your system should behave and apply those decisions consistently across your codebase: whose credentials does the agent use? what information can it share? what changes when another person joins the conversation? your auth, memory and channel integrations need to follow the same rules, including as you add features. this is hard to scale without a solid, opinionated foundation I do not think every team needs to solve these problems from first principles. there is value in building on decisions that other people have thought through, implemented and tested MDA is our managed service built on our open source Deep Agents harness. we build those decisions into managed primitives with sensible, configurable defaults, and handle the supporting infrastructure that is why I think Managed Deep Agents should be the default starting point for new agents. start with a foundation that we've thought through, and take on more of the system as your requirements demand it if you hit a limit with MDA, dm me. I want to understand what is missing and see if we can fix it. either way, MDA is built on our open source Deep Agents framework, so if you still need more control, you can move off MDA and use Deep Agents directly with your own integrations and infra re: diagram ~ this is one of those decisions we made: user memory is available in slack dms, but not in shared channels by default. fully configurable btw
Agent auth is hard, but it shouldn't be! Your agent needs to act as someone: sometimes that's one shared identity, sometimes it's the person asking. To get either right you'll need an OAuth app for each service, a token store, refresh logic, and a consent flow Today we're

the reason i'm excited about decision models: agentic systems are just good engineering around models. "build prod, not god" these types of fast, cheap & accurate models are super important for that the excitement around jev shows that most people think this way as well!
View quoted postRT Viv if there’s a tool to better understand your data at scale you best believe we’re making it super easy to use it in LangSmith🫡 use Jev for large scale trace mining today, it’s so cheap that you probably don’t even need to sub-sample in LangSmith Gateway you can also try other OSS Jev variants to see what’s best for your tasks - understand every piece of trace data - turn it into evals & environments - build continuously improving agents from those evals
