That's a great question. I'll start with a little context: most of the users of our existing hosted platform are no-code/low-code developers who choose us because we're the simplest solution for building what they want to build (primarily because we have end-to-end workflows like Chat built-in). The improved retrieval performance is a nice-to-have for this group, but usually not the primary reason they choose us.

For the larger companies and venture-backed startups we've talked to, they almost universally want to own their RAG stack in-house or build on open-source frameworks, rather than outsource it to an end-to-end solution provider. So open-sourcing our core retrieval tech is our bid to appeal to these developers.
