Huitzo vs. LangChain
LangChain is an application-layer Python library. Huitzo is the runtime an AI application runs inside. Comparing them is comparing a library to an operating system — both useful, different layers.

Side-by-side
| Dimension | Huitzo | LangChain |
|---|---|---|
| Layer | Runtime / infrastructure | Application library |
| Deployment model | Self-hosted runtime | Pip install in customer code |
| Ops responsibility | Runtime owns lifecycle | Customer code owns lifecycle |
| Integrations | Driver pattern, runtime-managed | Library calls in user code |
| Best fit | Production deployments at scale | Prototypes, in-process orchestration |
Comparison questions
Can I use LangChain inside an Intelligence Pack?
Yes. An Intelligence Pack is a Python application; nothing prevents using LangChain inside it. Huitzo provides the runtime that hosts the Pack.
Does Huitzo replace LangChain?
No — they sit at different layers. Huitzo is infrastructure; LangChain is a library you might use inside an Intelligence Pack.
