Mem0 supports LangChain as a provider to access a wide range of LLM models. LangChain is a framework for developing applications powered by language models, making it easy to integrate various LLM providers through a consistent interface.

For a complete list of available chat models supported by LangChain, refer to the [LangChain Chat Models documentation](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/chat).

## Usage

<CodeGroup>
```python Python
import os
from mem0 import Memory
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

# Set necessary environment variables for your chosen LangChain provider
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key"

# Initialize a LangChain model directly
openai_model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="gpt-5-mini",
    temperature=0.2,
    max_tokens=2000
)

# Pass the initialized model to the config
config = {
    "llm": {
        "provider": "langchain",
        "config": {
            "model": openai_model
        }
    }
}

m = Memory.from_config(config)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "I'm planning to watch a movie tonight. Any recommendations?"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "How about thriller movies? They can be quite engaging."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "I'm not a big fan of thriller movies but I love sci-fi movies."},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Got it! I'll avoid thriller recommendations and suggest sci-fi movies in the future."}
]
m.add(messages, user_id="alice", metadata={"category": "movies"})
```

```typescript TypeScript
import { Memory } from 'mem0ai/oss';
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";

// Initialize a LangChain model directly
const openaiModel = new ChatOpenAI({
    modelName: "gpt-4",
    temperature: 0.2,
    maxTokens: 2000,
    apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
});

const config = {
  llm: {
    provider: 'langchain',
    config: {
      model: openaiModel,
    },
  },
};

const memory = new Memory(config);
const messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "I'm planning to watch a movie tonight. Any recommendations?"},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "How about thriller movies? They can be quite engaging."},
    {"role": "user", "content": "I'm not a big fan of thriller movies but I love sci-fi movies."},
    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Got it! I'll avoid thriller recommendations and suggest sci-fi movies in the future."}
]
await memory.add(messages, { userId: "alice", metadata: { category: "movies" } });
```

## Provider-Specific Configuration

When using LangChain as a provider, you'll need to:

1. Set the appropriate environment variables for your chosen LLM provider
2. Import and initialize the specific model class you want to use
