our paid product is still in Beta actually as we're continuing to build it out, but BAML itself is and always will be open source (runs fully locally as well - no extra network calls).

in terms of parsing, I do think we're likely the best approach as of now. Most other libraries do reprompting or rely on constraining grammars which require owning the model. Reprompting = slow + $$, constraining grammars = require owning the model. we just tried a new approach: parse the output in a more clever way.
