Model

By default, deepagents uses claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929. You can customize the model used by passing any supported or LangChain model object.
Use the provider:model format (e.g., openai:gpt-5) to quickly switch between models.

System prompt

Deep agents come with a built-in system prompt inspired by Claude Code’s system prompt. The default system prompt contains detailed instructions for using the built-in planning tool, file system tools, and subagents. Each deep agent tailored to a use case should include a custom system prompt specific to that use case.

Tools

In addition to custom tools you provide, deep agents include built-in tools for planning, file management, and subagent spawning.
