Is Langchain a right choice to build Agents Systems? Read this before you choose: I recently came across a fellow startup that ditched LangChain, and their story blew me away. My friend's AI startup Octomind recently made a bold move: ↳ They abandoned LangChain for their AI agents ↳ Switched to simpler, modular building blocks ↳ Result? A complete transformation of their development process Here's why they took the leap: 🔧 LangChain's high-level abstractions became too restrictive 📚 Codebase was ballooning out of control ⏱️ Maintenance and iterations were painfully slow The outcome? Pretty impressive: → Leaner, more flexible architecture → Skyrocketing team productivity → Faster iteration on AI agent tasks It got me thinking: Are we sometimes too quick to adopt trendy frameworks? What's your take? Is Langchain too overrated? Have you faced any challenges with Langchain and similar frameworks? Let me know your experience with LangChain and I will sign you up to Lamatic.ai for free.
Fascinating insight – it's a reminder that sometimes going back to basics can lead to greater innovation and efficiency in tech development.
same thing here. Had to switch to a more old-school approach with event-driven architecture for my project instead of using langgraph for ai agent orchestration. Just too many layers of unnecessary complexity... but I'm sure there will be more use cases for it!
