Unicorn Utility

Langflow is a highly successful, open-source visual framework for building AI/LLM applications, recently acquired by DataStax (and subsequently IBM). Despite the low-quality submission (claiming 'everyone' uses it and providing no data), independent verification confirms exceptional traction (~60k GitHub stars), massive real-world utility in the AI engineering sector, and perfect market timing. It represents a 'unicorn' level project with verified enterprise adoption.
