LangChain puts Managed Deep Agents and its LLM Gateway into public beta

LangChain's August 2026 newsletter lists Managed Deep Agents and LLM Gateway as reaching public beta, alongside Deep Agents v0.7, Tuned Evaluators, Bring Your Own Cloud on AWS and LangSmith Engine upgrades. The announcement is a headline list: pricing, regions, limits and migration detail are not given.

LangChain's August 2026 newsletter names five items: Managed Deep Agents and LLM Gateway arriving in public beta, Deep Agents v0.7, Tuned Evaluators, Bring Your Own Cloud on AWS, and upgrades to LangSmith Engine.

Two of those — the managed agent offering and the gateway — describe hosted variants of things teams working with LangChain agents already assemble themselves, namely agent orchestration and a single point through which model calls pass. The rest are a version bump and feature additions to existing pieces.
