Use cascadeflow with LangChain for intelligent model cascading with full LCEL, streaming, and tools support!
368+
369+
### Installation
370+
371+
```bash
372+
npm install @cascadeflow/langchain @langchain/core @langchain/openai
373+
```
374+
375+
### Quick Start
376+
377+
Drop-in replacement for any LangChain chat model:
378+
379+
```typescript
380+
import { ChatOpenAI } from '@langchain/openai';
381+
import { ChatAnthropic } from '@langchain/anthropic';
382+
import { CascadeFlow } from '@cascadeflow/langchain';
383+
384+
const cascade = new CascadeFlow({
385+
drafter: new ChatOpenAI({ modelName: 'gpt-5-mini' }), // $0.25/$2 per 1M tokens
386+
verifier: new ChatAnthropic({ modelName: 'claude-sonnet-4-5' }), // $3/$15 per 1M tokens
387+
qualityThreshold: 0.8, // 80% queries use drafter
388+
});
389+
390+
// Use like any LangChain chat model
391+
const result = await cascade.invoke('Explain quantum computing');
392+
393+
// Optional: Enable LangSmith tracing (see https://smith.langchain.com)
394+
// Set LANGSMITH_API_KEY, LANGSMITH_PROJECT, LANGSMITH_TRACING=true
395+
396+
// Or with LCEL chains
397+
const chain = prompt.pipe(cascade).pipe(new StringOutputParser());
398+
```

<summary><b>💡 Optional: Model Discovery & Analysis Helpers</b></summary>
402+
403+
For discovering optimal cascade pairs from your existing LangChain models, use the built-in discovery helpers:
404+
405+
```typescript
406+
import {
407+
discoverCascadePairs,
408+
findBestCascadePair,
409+
analyzeModel,
410+
validateCascadePair
411+
} from '@cascadeflow/langchain';
412+
413+
// Your existing LangChain models (configured with YOUR API keys)
414+
const myModels = [
415+
new ChatOpenAI({ model: 'gpt-3.5-turbo' }),
416+
new ChatOpenAI({ model: 'gpt-4o-mini' }),
417+
new ChatOpenAI({ model: 'gpt-4o' }),
418+
new ChatAnthropic({ model: 'claude-3-haiku' }),
419+
// ... any LangChain chat models
420+
];
421+
422+
// Quick: Find best cascade pair
423+
const best = findBestCascadePair(myModels);
424+
console.log(`Best pair: ${best.analysis.drafterModel} → ${best.analysis.verifierModel}`);
425+
console.log(`Estimated savings: ${best.estimatedSavings}%`);
426+
427+
// Use it immediately
428+
const cascade = new CascadeFlow({
429+
drafter: best.drafter,
430+
verifier: best.verifier,
431+
});
432+
433+
// Advanced: Discover all valid pairs
434+
const pairs = discoverCascadePairs(myModels, {
435+
minSavings: 50, // Only pairs with ≥50% savings
436+
requireSameProvider: false, // Allow cross-provider cascades
437+
});
438+
439+
// Validate specific pair
440+
const validation = validateCascadePair(drafter, verifier);
441+
console.log(`Valid: ${validation.valid}`);
442+
console.log(`Warnings: ${validation.warnings}`);
443+
```
444+
445+
**What you get:**
446+
- 🔍 Automatic discovery of optimal cascade pairs from YOUR models
447+
- 💰 Estimated cost savings calculations
448+
- ⚠️ Validation warnings for misconfigured pairs
