LangChain: Streaming Speedups and Fireworks Fixes
Core 1.7.6 fixes two quadratic streaming slowdowns, cutting large tool-call and JSON streams from tens of seconds to fractions. Fireworks 1.7.2 corrects doubled token usage and served-model reporting, while agent middleware gets more accurate summarization and privacy fixes.

The headline is streaming performance. Two core fixes remove quadratic slowdowns that stalled chains as tool arguments or follow-on text grew, both now shipped in core version 1.7.6.
First, runnable streams now buffer leading AI message chunks and merge them once, instead of re-parsing all tool-call arguments on every chunk. That's pull request 41697, and in testing a 91-kilobyte tool call dropped from over 17 seconds to under a tenth of a second. Second, the partial JSON parser now jumps…
Second theme is Fireworks accuracy, shipped in version 1.7.2. Pull request 41693 fixes doubled token counts — the provider now sends usage twice per stream, so the integration holds back early reports and emits the final one once. That unblocks nightlies failing since October 30th. Pull request 41686 reports the…
Third, agent middleware gets more correct. The summarization work in pull requests 41696 and 41681 uses each call's actual model for limits and counting, and handles histories where the trim window has no human message. Related fixes preserve the developer role in to-do prompts, omit input payloads from refusal…
