LangChain's langchain-openai 1.8.0 drops Python 3.10 and adds a classifier
LangChain published version 1.8.0 of langchain-openai, its OpenAI integration package, on GitHub. The release raises the minimum supported Python version to 3.11, since 3.10 has reached end-of-life, and now requires langchain-core 1.8.0 or newer. It also adds an OpenAIClassifier for the GA Decisions API and refreshes the package's model profile data. A related change removes Python 3.10 from the other partner packages. Projects still running Python 3.10 will keep resolving the 1.7.x line instead of this version. The release is available now from the project's GitHub page.
Why it matters
Developers who want the new classifier or updated model profiles need to be on Python 3.11 or later; staying on 3.10 means staying on the older 1.7.x releases.
