Honestly, it's hard to even tell if people really like it or if the LangChain team have just done a really good job of evangelizing for it. I saw that they did some kind of interview with Andrew Ng the other day. I feel like that sort of thing doesn't just happen by accident, but because someone actively reached out to him, especially considering that LangChain has only been on the scene for a couple of months.
- minimaxir 3y agoLangChain has been active since last year (after the ReAct paper was released), but gained most of its popularity after the ChatGPT hype.
- codeptualize 3y agoTrue, you gotta respect the marketing, they definitely got that covered and actually created some real value there, a $10M seed round to be precise. I think they got the timing right and the idea is kinda alluring as well: have everything standardized, pluggable and swappable sounds neat. Just doesn't really work. They are also doing a great job at maintaining the mirage of adding value. Templates for example will work totally fine, as they are just f strings. It seems there are plenty of people who don't really think twice about it, and they have captured that audience very well. There is also a low barrier to contribute as everything is kinda basic, that must help a lot as well.
