Excellent question! We really need to have a nice crisp answer here.
Some rough notes that need to be made more coherent:
Thanks for the answers, that's really helpful! So much that I'll risk pressing my luck =)...
Both breadboard and LCEL are WIPs -- hard to answer definitively. Directionally, LCEL is LangChain-first and breadboard is composition-first. Applying the Webby analogy from above, Material Design implementation might grow a component framework that if you squint, looks like Lit, but ultimately is mostly about composing MD bits more easily. Currently (and probably for the long term), LCEL is a subset of capabilities of breadboard.
Ideally (🤞🏻) the breadboard runtime one day powers LangChain's composition. I'd love to help LangChain get there.
Re: Vertex AI. I certainly hope that Cloud folks realize how cool Breadboard is and adopt it for AI recipe orchestration. They don't really have anything like that currently.
Thanks, that's really helpful and some exciting ambitions!
