About Chroma
Chroma stands up a standalone Rust CLI for its new Foundation line
Chroma is known as an open-source vector database, but its only recent visible activity is scaffolding a new "Foundation" surface — a standalone Rust CLI shipped in rapid alpha increments. The work is early: a clap v4 binary with version and shell-completion commands, build-time version injection, dedicated CI, and a tagged release pipeline.
