alt Hacker News> Our goal continues to be building the best LLM engineering platform
Interesting headline for a checks notes time series database company.

Note that the headline is from Langfuse, not ClickHouse. Reading the announcement from ClickHouse[0], the headline is "ClickHouse welcomes Langfuse: The future of open-source LLM observability". I think the Langfuse team is suggesting that they will be continuing to do the same work within ClickHouse, not that the entire ClickHouse organization has a goal of building the best LLM engineering platform.

Language models are time series models.
It’s great when you get this insight as a student of NLP, because suddenly your toolset grows quite a bit.
"Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is an American multinational conglomerate holding company" is a weird thing for a textile manufacturer to call itself. Almost like...businesses expand and evolve?
(they've never been a time series database company either lol)
That’s what you get when you raise a lot of VC capital. Just being the best timeseries database is not enough.

Your notes aren't very good. They're not a time series database company, they're a columnar database company. But yeah the LLM bit is weird, database companies _always_ feel like charlatans when it comes to LLMs.
