[Agent Collaboration App Raft to Open Source Code, Founder Admits Startup Went Off Track] Beating AI Newsflash: The development company behind the Agent collaboration app Raft, Botiverse, is preparing to pivot its direction. Founder Richard Qian stated that after working on Raft (formerly Slock) for about six months, the team had once focused too much on growth and revenue. He candidly admitted that they raised more funding than necessary and that KOL marketing was a mistake. In the coming weeks, Botiverse will open source several internal projects and release the source code for Raft's main repository, though external PRs will not be accepted for now. RC believes that Agents are taking on more and more development work, and the previous open-source collaboration model of "external developers submitting code, maintainers reviewing and merging" may no longer be applicable. Currently, Botiverse has already made several projects public on GitHub, including Raft documentation, external Agent plugins, and application scaffolding. The Raft main repository is part of what has been announced to be opened next. [Original Link]
