Are there any lessons around the why which may be publicly shared ?

There are many factors at play here but if I had to pick one... an open-source company has to find product market fit twice: first for the OSS project and again for a commercial product. The AI market moves very quickly so it's easy to take a step in the wrong direction and fall behind.

I might publish a long-form reflection when the dust settles.

		It might come off as trite, but I genuinely am sorry that things didn't pan out for you Very early in my career I used to believe that I or anyone else could be a CEO. It wasn't until working with tiny teams where the CEO/founders devoted everything in their life to the business -- often at the expense of hobbies, romantic relationships, and any shred of free time -- that I realized true CEOs are a rare breed. When are you ask things like "what happens if the product fails?" the answer would always be "It won't." They both relentlessly believe in, and put every ounce of energy toward, their vision because anything less would not suffice Again as trite as it sounds, I empathize with these people in that to them losing their vision felt like losing something dearest to them

		Are there other OSS LLMOps projects that have overtaken you? I couldn't think of one.
