DataStax has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire AI startup Logspace – creators of Langflow, an open-source visual framework for building RAG applications.
The combination of Langflow and DataStax offers the potential to create a one-stop Gen AI application stack offering flexible deployment options, including integration with DataStax Astra DB, alongside a rich ecosystem of Python libraries, and integration with partners like LangChain.
The Langflow team will operate independently, focusing on project innovation and community collaboration.
Chet Kapoor, CEO and Chairman, DataStax, said: “This acquisition is transformative to us and transformative to the industry. Langflow is an incredibly hot AI startup and our work with them will put us front and center for all RAG application development–it’s not just a tool or framework, it’s a vibrant ecosystem where developers are building, selling and reusing AI components that are going to shape the next generation of AI applications.”
Rodrigo Nader, CEO, Langflow, said: “With DataStax, we will be fully focused on the execution of our product vision, roadmap and community collaboration and will continue to add to the greatest breadth of integrations across different AI ecosystem projects and products – including more data sources and databases, models, applications and APIs.”
Langflow is pitched as making it ‘100x easier and faster’ for any developer – experienced or new – to build Gen AI applications using Python-based composable building blocks and pre-built components which can be combined in numerous ways.
