Strengths & Weaknesses
↑ Strengths
↓ Weaknesses
API requires Python-specific patterns, TypeScript SDK is community-maintained
v0.1 to v0.2 migration required rewriting chain definitions
Lacks native support for popular frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch
Training times increase exponentially with dataset size, leading to impractical training durations
