"At the end of the day, FMOps isn't just about the new tools. It's actually more about the new builders, the new workflows, and a completely new market of customers. I was on the other day, looking at LangChain's page of integrations, I don't know if you've seen it, but it's like Anyscale, Databricks, all these other huge legendary companies are integrating with LangChain, and I think it's clear that there's a huge community that is building something real and valuable." – Jaya Gupta
