Dependency freshness
| Package | Declared | Latest | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| LangChain langchain | 0.3.13 | 1.4.6 | 1 major behind |
| LangGraph langgraph | 0.2.57 | 1.2.16 | Behind, not counted |
| Pydantic pydantic | 2.10.6 | 2.14.1 | Current |
Declared = lowest version the kit's dependency file (package.json, pyproject.toml or requirements.txt) allows. Latest = the npm "latest" tag or the newest PyPI release. TypeScript, the Stripe SDK, FastAPI and other 0.x packages are shown but not counted in the verdict.
What's in the stack
