Interrupt

This guide assumes knowledge of what double-texting is, which you can learn about in the double-texting conceptual guide.

The guide covers the interrupt option for double texting, which interrupts the prior run of the graph and starts a new one with the double-text. This option does not delete the first run, but rather keeps it in the database but sets its status to interrupted. Below is a quick example of using the interrupt option.

Setup

First, we will define a quick helper function for printing out JS and CURL model outputs (you can skip this if using Python):

JavascriptCURL

function prettyPrint(m) {
  const padded = " " + m['type'] + " ";
  const sepLen = Math.floor((80 - padded.length) / 2);
  const sep = "=".repeat(sepLen);
  const secondSep = sep + (padded.length % 2 ? "=" : "");

  console.log(`${sep}${padded}${secondSep}`);
  console.log("\n\n");
  console.log(m.content);
}

# PLACE THIS IN A FILE CALLED pretty_print.sh
pretty_print() {
  local type="$1"
  local content="$2"
  local padded=" $type "
  local total_width=80
  local sep_len=$(( (total_width - ${#padded}) / 2 ))
  local sep=$(printf '=%.0s' $(eval "echo {1.."${sep_len}"}"))
  local second_sep=$sep
  if (( (total_width - ${#padded}) % 2 )); then
    second_sep="${second_sep}="
  fi

  echo "${sep}${padded}${second_sep}"
  echo
  echo "$content"
}

Now, let's import our required packages and instantiate our client, assistant, and thread.

PythonJavascriptCURL

import asyncio

from langchain_core.messages import convert_to_messages
from langgraph_sdk import get_client

client = get_client(url=<DEPLOYMENT_URL>)
# Using the graph deployed with the name "agent"
assistant_id = "agent"
thread = await client.threads.create()

import { Client } from "@langchain/langgraph-sdk";

const client = new Client({ apiUrl: <DEPLOYMENT_URL> });
// Using the graph deployed with the name "agent"
const assistantId = "agent";
const thread = await client.threads.create();

curl --request POST \
  --url <DEPLOYMENT_URL>/threads \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{}'

Create runs

Now we can start our two runs and join the second on euntil it has completed:

PythonJavascriptCURL

# the first run will be interrupted
interrupted_run = await client.runs.create(
    thread["thread_id"],
    assistant_id,
    input={"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "what's the weather in sf?"}]},
)
# sleep a bit to get partial outputs from the first run
await asyncio.sleep(2)
run = await client.runs.create(
    thread["thread_id"],
    assistant_id,
    input={"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "what's the weather in nyc?"}]},
    multitask_strategy="interrupt",
)
# wait until the second run completes
await client.runs.join(thread["thread_id"], run["run_id"])

// the first run will be interrupted
let interruptedRun = await client.runs.create(
  thread["thread_id"],
  assistantId,
  { input: { messages: [{ role: "human", content: "what's the weather in sf?" }] } }
);
// sleep a bit to get partial outputs from the first run
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000)); 

let run = await client.runs.create(
  thread["thread_id"],
  assistantId,
  { 
    input: { messages: [{ role: "human", content: "what's the weather in nyc?" }] },
    multitaskStrategy: "interrupt" 
  }
);

// wait until the second run completes
await client.runs.join(thread["thread_id"], run["run_id"]);

curl --request POST \
--url <DEPLOY<ENT_URL>>/threads/<THREAD_ID>/runs \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data "{
  \"assistant_id\": \"agent\",
  \"input\": {\"messages\": [{\"role\": \"human\", \"content\": \"what\'s the weather in sf?\"}]},
}" && sleep 2 && curl --request POST \
--url <DEPLOY<ENT_URL>>/threads/<THREAD_ID>/runs \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data "{
  \"assistant_id\": \"agent\",
  \"input\": {\"messages\": [{\"role\": \"human\", \"content\": \"what\'s the weather in nyc?\"}]},
  \"multitask_strategy\": \"interrupt\"
}" && curl --request GET \
--url <DEPLOYMENT_URL>/threads/<THREAD_ID>/runs/<RUN_ID>/join

View run results

We can see that the thread has partial data from the first run + data from the second run

PythonJavascriptCURL

state = await client.threads.get_state(thread["thread_id"])

for m in convert_to_messages(state["values"]["messages"]):
    m.pretty_print()

const state = await client.threads.getState(thread["thread_id"]);

for (const m of state['values']['messages']) {
  prettyPrint(m);
}

source pretty_print.sh && curl --request GET \
--url <DEPLOYMENT_URL>/threads/<THREAD_ID>/state | \
jq -c '.values.messages[]' | while read -r element; do
    type=$(echo "$element" | jq -r '.type')
    content=$(echo "$element" | jq -r '.content | if type == "array" then tostring else . end')
    pretty_print "$type" "$content"
done

Output:

Verify that the original, interrupted run was interrupted

PythonJavascript

print((await client.runs.get(thread["thread_id"], interrupted_run["run_id"]))["status"])

console.log((await client.runs.get(thread['thread_id'], interruptedRun["run_id"]))["status"])

Output:

'interrupted'
