Weave gives Validation Error using Custom Chat Template

[AIApprentice101]

Thank you for the package. Love it.

I use Langchain's ChatOpenAI function with stream=True. When I add Weave to trace the chains by simply `weave.init()', it throws the following error:

([llm/error] [chain:RunnableWithMessageHistory > chain:check_sync_or_async > chain:RunnableSequence > chain:ChatOpenAI > llm:ChatOpenAI] [2.11s] LLM run errored with error:

Hey @AIApprentice101 Thanks for writing in! Your weave package looks quite a bit out of date, do you mind updating and trying again? Happy to help if the issue persists :)

[AIApprentice101]

Thank you. I just tried version 0.51.8 which I think is the most recent release. Unfortunately, it still throws the same validation error.

Ticketing for internal tracking, I will keep you posted!

Do you mind providing a code sample so that I can reproduce the issue? @AIApprentice101

[AIApprentice101]

Thank you for your reply. I think I figure out where the issue is from. I'm using the Mistral-7B model which doesn't have role "system". I used a custom chat template that basically converts "system" message to "user". Without weave, this works fine. With weave enabled, it throws a Pydantic validation error. This also only happens with streaming=True.

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
import weave
weave.init('langchain-demo')

OPENAI_API_KEY="EMPTY"
OPENAI_API_BASE="http://localhost:8000/v1"
LLM_MODEL_NAME = "TheBloke/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2-AWQ"
llm = ChatOpenAI(
    openai_api_key=OPENAI_API_KEY,
    openai_api_base=OPENAI_API_BASE,
    model_name=LLM_MODEL_NAME,
    streaming=True
)
# validation error
response1 = llm.invoke("Hi, my name is Alice.")
# validation error
for chunk in llm.stream("Hi, my name is Alice."):
    print(chunk.content, end="", flush=True)

If you think this is not a general case, please feel free to close this issue. Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you.
