I'm bummed that there has been no official response from the Taichi team here, but even more bummed to report that Taichi is indeed just in maintenance/bugfix mode and no longer under active development (according to @bobcao3 in this discord chat). I just noticed this in Discord, and thought I'd share that here for ppl like myself who visit the Taichi on Github but don't really use Discord much. I guess it's not surprising given the the commits for the last 8 months, but it's really too bad. It's an amazing library, and I was really rooting for the Taichi team to be able to monetize their hard work while supporting this great open source tool. Best of luck to the team in their commercial product endeavors. In my experience, when a company stops developing the project they have initiated, the project dies and the code rots... I was about to start a big project using Taichi, but I'm rethinking that now. I'm curious if folks have recommendations for other GPU compute libraries. My objectives would be:
It looks like maybe WGPU/webgpu is next best bet if I don't want to hassle with super low level Vulkan code, but WGPU is still lower level than I'd prefer. Any other suggestions? |

Hi, thanks for raising this concern. I was also worried about Taichi's future after seeing this title, cuz I just returned to Taichi after long absence of use. I read the chat history between you and bobcao3 on Discord. He said they are using Taichi in their internal commercial projects. It doesn't mean they will abandon Taichi gradually, in contrast, they are building products based on it, as the team need the profit to support I think. The new release v.1.7.1 was published on 4/17/2024. So we can keep checking the active development of Taichi for the following months. Cheers! |

I sincerely wish @yuanming-hu can give us an explaination what's going on there. I started to use Taichi to do the homework recently, and was hoping to use it to build SPH models for my research.. |

I notice on the Insights > Contributors page for this repo that development on Taichi seems to have effectively stopped around mid August of last year. Oh no! :-(
I'm a huge fan of Taichi, have been for several years now. I have been inactive recently, but was looking forward to jumping back into Taichi and seeing what is new. I'm really hoping this amazing project is still moving ahead!! <3
What does the future of Taichi hold?
