When does this happen?
IF Passing a custom httpx.Client or httpx.AsyncClient to ChatOpenAI results in a validation error claiming the wrong client type.
How others solved it
THEN Use the 'http_client' parameter for httpx.Client and the 'http_async_client' parameter for httpx.AsyncClient. Ensure langchain-openai is version 0.1.0 or later to support sync clients; for async clients, the correct parameter name avoids the error.
import httpx from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI # Sync client http_client = httpx.Client() llm = ChatOpenAI(http_client=http_client, ...) # Async client http_async_client = httpx.AsyncClient() llm = ChatOpenAI(http_async_client=http_async_client, ...)
