What are some alternatives to Docker, Chroma?

LXD

LXD

LXD isn't a rewrite of LXC, in fact it's building on top of LXC to provide a new, better user experience. Under the hood, LXD uses LXC through liblxc and its Go binding to create and manage the containers. It's basically an alternative to LXC's tools and distribution template system with the added features that come from being controllable over the network.

LXC

LXC

LXC is a userspace interface for the Linux kernel containment features. Through a powerful API and simple tools, it lets Linux users easily create and manage system or application containers.

rkt

rkt

Rocket is a cli for running App Containers. The goal of rocket is to be composable, secure, and fast.

Milvus

Milvus

Milvus is an open source vector database. Built with heterogeneous computing architecture for the best cost efficiency. Searches over billion-scale vectors take only milliseconds with minimum computing resources.

Vagrant Cloud

Vagrant Cloud

Vagrant Cloud pairs with Vagrant to enable access, insight and collaboration across teams, as well as to bring exposure to community contributions and development environments.

Clever AI Humanizer

Clever AI Humanizer

That transforms AI-generated content into natural, undetectable human-like writing. Bypass AI detection systems with intelligent text humanization technology

LangChain

LangChain

It is a framework built around LLMs. It can be used for chatbots, generative question-answering, summarization, and much more. The core idea of the library is that we can “chain” together different components to create more advanced use cases around LLMs.

Ollama

Ollama

It allows you to run open-source large language models, such as Llama 2, locally.

LlamaIndex

LlamaIndex

It is a project that provides a central interface to connect your LLMs with external data. It offers you a comprehensive toolset trading off cost and performance.

LangGraph

LangGraph

It is a library for building stateful, multi-actor applications with LLMs, built on top of (and intended to be used with) LangChain. It extends the LangChain Expression Language with the ability to coordinate multiple chains (or actors) across multiple steps of computation in a cyclic manner.
