-LangChain chat models implement the [BaseChatModel](https://python.langchain.com/api_reference/core/language_models/langchain_core.language_models.chat_models.BaseChatModel.html) interface. Because [BaseChatModel] also implements the [Runnable Interface](/docs/concepts/runnables), chat models support a [standard streaming interface](/docs/concepts/streaming), [async programming](/docs/concepts/async), optimized [batching](/docs/concepts/runnables/#optimized-parallel-execution-batch), and more. Please see the [Runnable Interface](/docs/concepts/runnables) for more details.
