Description

Problem

After importing langchain.agents, subsequent construction of BaseLLM (e.g. via from langchain_core.language_models import BaseLLM) fails with TypeError: 'function' object is not subscriptable when using the current Pydantic main branch / 2.14.0a1 alpha.

Root cause (langchain side)

In libs/core/langchain_core/utils/pydantic.py, _create_subset_model_v2 writes __annotations__ directly on a model class (verified on master bc5f1517cf, line 272):

rtn.__annotations__ = dict(selected_annotations)

This breaks the invariant (in Python >= 3.10) that getattr(cls, '__annotations__', {}) and cls.__dict__.get('__annotations__', {}) should return the same thing. Pydantic main switched from the latter to the former in its safe_get_annotations helper (pydantic PR #13070), which exposes the langchain bug.

See Pydantic maintainer's diagnosis: pydantic/pydantic#13097 (comment)

Impact

Any code that imports langchain.agents and then constructs BaseLLM (or any model inheriting from a class with a dict[...] string annotation) will fail once pydantic 2.14 ships. Caught by logfire's weekly CI against pydantic main:

• Original: https://github.com/pydantic/logfire/actions/runs/24666273628/job/72124642387
• Recent: https://github.com/pydantic/logfire/actions/runs/26759594603

Suggested fix

Avoid mutating __annotations__ directly in _create_subset_model_v2. The existing TODO comment in the code already anticipates this: "Determine if there is a more 'pydantic' way to preserve annotations." Using pydantic.create_model with fields passed normally (so pydantic sets up __annotations__ itself), or typing.get_type_hints(..., include_extras=True) as proposed in the closed PR #34537, would avoid the invariant violation.
