The official source reports this update: @langchain/openai@1.7.0. Minor Changes #11986 2caf64d Thanks @richardscarrott ! - feat: stream tool-call args as tool-call-delta slices Tool-call and server-tool-call args now stream as tool-call-delta events, which carry only the new slice of the args, instead of block-delta snapshots of the args so far. A large tool call now costs about the same bytes on the wire as the same length of text.
