Malte Pietsch is co-founder & CTO of Deepset, the company behind the popular open source project Haystack, an orchestration framework for LLMs that I’ve been using for the last few months. Haystack lets you zero in on crafting your pipeline and computation graph, seamlessly integrating various components like LLMs, vector databases, and document stores. Its unified, user-friendly interface makes assembly effortless, smoothing the path to complex system development.
