1. langchain 1.3.1 patches a Bedrock provider alias gap in summarization token accounting

LangChain. The langchain package shipped a 1.3.1 patch on May 15 (commit b6b769b) that fixes how alias Bedrock providers are recognized inside the summarization token check, addressed in PR #37453 and released through PR #37454. Before the fix, AWS Bedrock model identifiers using alias prefixes were not being matched by the token-budget logic that decides when to trigger summarization, which could let chains skip summarization or undercount tokens for Bedrock-served Claude, Llama, and Titan endpoints. The release is a targeted, surgical follow-on to the 1.3.0 stream-events v3 work and the 1.4.0 langchain-core content-block streaming refactor that landed earlier in the week. Source
