LangChain: From Chains to Threads

Mistral.ai

A proper AI framework should be model-agnostic, seamlessly supporting OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, and fine-tuned proprietary models without major architectural changes. The AI ecosystem is evolving too fast for developers to lock themselves into a single provider, and switching between models should require minimal code changes. APIs should be abstracted in a way that makes model selection flexible, allowing applications to test multiple providers and dynamically switch based on cost, latency, or accuracy.

LangChain wasn’t designed in isolation — it was built in the data pipeline world, where every data engineer’s tool of choice was Jupyter Notebooks. Jupyter was an innovative tool, making pipeline programming easy to experiment with, iterate on, and debug. It was a perfect fit for machine learning workflows, where you preprocess data, train models, analyze outputs, and fine-tune parameters — all in a structured, step-by-step fashion.

This is why we’re already seeing developers look for alternatives. Goose, a new agent framework, wasn’t built in LangChain — it was written in Rust, optimized for speed and scalability, with a focus on real-time AI applications. The fact that developers are already reaching for lower-level, more application-friendly architectures suggests that the limitations of LangChain’s chain model are becoming more apparent.
