Folks interested in this space and actually wants to work on open source, now is a good time to fork Lang chain.
The moment they raised VC funding the open source project is dead. All their incentives are now to 100x the investment they just raised. They would start putting core features behind an enterprise license.
Contributors of langchain please fork the project and make a better project! Stop sending free contributions to make the investors rich.
- qwerty3344 4y agoThis isn't true, many open source companies make money in ways that don't diminish the core open source product, Kafka/ElasticSearch/MongoDB/Supabase/Vercel/Grafana/Red Hat/etc
- truthsayer123 4y agoMost of them have the core features put behind an enterprise license.
- la64710 4y agoCorrect
- tpae 4y agoCould use more competition
- la64710 4y agoThis is so true. Sad to see a promising open source project being sold out. I doubt now if langchain can truly ever reach its potential of supporting additional models beside OpenAIs and would be able to support user contributed tools or agents.
- tylersmith 4y agoWhy not provide the free contributions to an open source fork yourself instead of begging others to give up their own time?
- truthsayer123 4y agoThe appeal is to existing contributors or people who are interested in open source and wants to work on this space. I am not either of them nor use the product.
- tylersmith 4y agoIf you're unwilling to do it yourself then don't demand others do it.
- truthsayer123 4y agoWhy not? They have freewill and can choose to do it if they want to do it.
