Why are we investing in Llama Stack when LangChain, LangFlow, or CrewAI already exist?
I've been asked this question a few times already. Luckily, Adel Zaalouk and Tushar Katarki just wrote the answer, so I don't have to. 😅
Think Kubernetes: before it, you could run containers in many ways. But there was no open contract for scheduling, networking, and orchestration. Kubernetes provided us with the "run anywhere" abstraction — APIs and governance that the entire ecosystem could agree on.
It's the same here:
- Frameworks help you stitch pieces together.
- They make development easier and accelerate builders.
- But Llama Stack sets the open contract for running anywhere, making deployment universal and empowering ecosystems.
From authors: "That’s the conversation we need to have, because the future of agents shouldn’t just belong to one company."
Are we at the "pre-Kubernetes moment" for agents?
