What is Kubeflow?

Kubeflow's main repo is now a signpost: real releases live in seven subprojects.

The only entry is a redirect notice: the kubeflow/kubeflow repository no longer holds project code. Releases now come from separate repos for the SDK, Notebooks, Spark Operator, Trainer, Katib, Hub (model registry) and Pipelines, each on its own cycle.

What is RAGFlow?

RAGFlow's nightlies add tenant roles and enterprise hooks while 1.0 waits.

RAGFlow's November 13 nightlies are maintenance: a minimatch dependency bump, open-source no-op overlays moved into an enterprise stub, and a NATS test fix. The days before assigned roles to tenants in the admin, added a web extension point for the enterprise edition and added Shengsuanyun as a model provider. 1.0.0-rc3 remains the latest release candidate.

Kubeflow vs RAGFlow: editorial side-by-side

K

0.3

Kubeflow's main repo is now a signpost: real releases live in seven subprojects.

◆ Current state

The only entry is a redirect notice: the kubeflow/kubeflow repository no longer holds project code. Releases now come from separate repos for the SDK, Notebooks, Spark Operator, Trainer, Katib, Hub (model registry) and Pipelines, each on its own cycle.

◆ Where it's heading

Kubeflow has become a federation of independently released components rather than one versioned platform. Tracking it from this repo will show nothing; the subproject repos are where change happens.

◆ Prediction

This feed will likely stay quiet; meaningful signal requires tracking Pipelines, Trainer or the SDK directly.

6.3

RAGFlow's nightlies add tenant roles and enterprise hooks while 1.0 waits.

◆ Current state

RAGFlow's November 13 nightlies are maintenance: a minimatch dependency bump, open-source no-op overlays moved into an enterprise stub, and a NATS test fix. The days before assigned roles to tenants in the admin, added a web extension point for the enterprise edition and added Shengsuanyun as a model provider. 1.0.0-rc3 remains the latest release candidate.

◆ Where it's heading

Most recent nightlies prepare RAGFlow for multi-tenant and enterprise builds: tenant roles, header slots, parser and web extension hooks. User-facing changes arrive mainly as new model providers and integration fixes.

◆ Prediction

Expect 1.0.0 final soon after rc3, and an enterprise edition built on these extension hooks; the entries do not say when.
