It feels like you are reading too much into this. Really don't understand all the bashing here. It's an open source software for building things using OpenAI. Do you think LangChain is similarly disingenuous? Or the Vercel AI SDK?

Neither of those things claim:

You're quoting the paragraph under "Search", describing their search engine. I feel you're misrepresenting it.

Anyway, I definitely don't think this deserves to be described as "a simple interface for the OpenAI-API drenched in fake buzzwords boosted to the top of HN to scam investors" or "twitter get-rich-quick-guru level lousy and fake, and is clearly boosted to the top of HN".

Horrible reactions in this thread to open source software you can fork to use whatever you want. Really disappointing.

Langchain works completely offline with appropriate LLM/API backend & vectore store if needed

No-one is preventing you from creating a PR or fork this project to add whatever backend you want. Did LangChain fully cover all backends on release? Are you not allowed to release a project that only supports OpenAI?

You really need to explain what you are hating on here.

STFU all I said is that what they claim is not what's the state of their project today. Don't even get me started on their alignment BS.
