LangGraph introduces interrupt() for non-blocking human-in-the-loop workflows

LangGraph has introduced a new `interrupt()` function that allows LLM applications to pause execution mid-run and persist their state, avoiding the need for continuous polling. This feature is particularly useful for human-in-the-loop workflows, such as a support-ticket agent that requires approval for refunds. Instead of tying up resources while waiting for a decision, the graph can be paused and resumed later by an external process once the approval is granted. AI

IMPACT Enables more efficient and scalable human-in-the-loop workflows for LLM applications by eliminating resource-intensive polling.

RANK_REASON The item describes a new feature within a software framework for building LLM applications.
