Description

Use Cases
- Building agentic workflows and RAG pipelines
- Prototyping and shipping LLM applications
- Model management across multiple providers
- Observability and evaluation of LLM apps
- Self-hosted or VPC deployment for data control
Limitations
- License is not pure Apache-2.0: a commercial license is required for multi-tenant SaaS-style redistribution
- Minimum system requirements (2-core CPU, 4 GiB RAM) mean heavier self-hosting than a CLI tool
- Model neutrality means the operator must configure and pay for their own model providers
- MCP is exposed via a published MCP Server URL that carries authentication credentials
