Yeah I thought the consensus against LangChain was formed a year ago, surprised to still be seeing these articles.

- refulgentis 2y agoJust chit chatting, not a strong claim, more a hot take I turn over in my mind: my guess is 40% of software engineers did a AI pivot the last 18 months, so there's a massive market for frameworks, and there's an inclination to go beyond REST requests, find something that just does it for you / can do all the cool patterns you'll find in research papers. Incredible amount of bad info out there, whether its the 10th prompting framework that boils down to a while loop and just drives up token costs, the 400 LLM tokenizer library that can only do GPT-3.5/4.0, the Nth app that took XX ex-FAANG and $XX mil and a year to get another web app, or another iOS-only OpenAI client with background blur,m memory thats an array of strings injected into every call It's at the point where I'm hoping for a cooling down even though I'm launching something*, and think it's hilarious people rant about it all just being hype and think people agree. * TL;Dr consumer app with 'chain gui', just hand people an easy to use GUI like playground.openai.com / console.anthropic.com, instead of getting cute and being the Nth team to try to launch a full grade assistant on a monthly plan matching openai pricing, shoving 6000K+ prompts with each request and not showing them
- gbickford 2y agoThis is true. Devs are looking for frameworks. See CrewAI who refuses to allow users to disable some pretty aggressive telemetry, yet they have a huge number of GH stars. The abstractions are handy if you have no idea what you are doing but it's not groundbreaking tech. https://github.com/joaomdmoura/crewAI/pull/402 https://github.com/joaomdmoura/crewAI/pull/402
