Is this OSS?

How would you compare it with activepieces.com? It’s also self hostable but OSS license.
For folks who want to see some demo videos and be amazed!

Its the latter. The project does good work so don't want to dump on the project.
When one sees source code on Github, one assumes that its OSS, but its not and thats why I share that.
The license is a fair code license and it says "is commercially restricted by its authors" and its not clear what commercially restricted really means here.
As per its description on github: N8n is a Free and source-available fair-code licensed workflow automation tool.
Not really OSS.

Nice, did not know this.. Plivo in latvian means flying high, thats was one of the languages we named it based on.
This is so nostalgic. I actually met my cofounder on github due to a discussion on twisted vs gevent back in 2011. I had my inital code in twisted and he wrote the gevent piece. Fast forward 12 years and we still use gevent at http://plivo.com :)
Some of our initial code snippets:
# Twisted
def __protocolSendRaw(self, name, args=""): deferred = defer.Deferred() self.__EventQueue.append((name, deferred)) self.rawSend("%s %s" % (name, args)) return deferred
# Gevent
def _protocol_sendmsg(self, name, args=None, async=False): if self._closing_state: return Event() _async_res = gevent.event.AsyncResult() _uuid, event = _async_res.get() return event
I shared my exp below on one of the comments, sharing here too - I think overall the quality is significantly poorer on GPT4 with plugins and bing browsing enabled. If you disable those, I am able to get the same quality as before. The outputs are dramatically different. Would love to hear what everyone else sees when they try the same.
I have some first hand thoughts. I think overall the quality is significantly poorer on GPT4 with plugins and bing browsing enabled. If you disable those, I am able to get the same quality as before.

Founder of https://www.plivo.com here. We have seen similar patterns of fraud on our customers primarily in the international markets, outside the US & Canada. It typically happens on repeating number ranges that are sometimes not even in service. MaxPrice approach did not work well based on our experience as this would lead to just blocking certain destinations completely. Alternatively, what we found better was have a geo permissions related options where customers could block destinations that are never used at a network level and additionally introduce rate limits for those networks, so its not open to an attack.

This one is AudioLM modified from here https://github.com/lucidrains/audiolm-pytorch to support the music generation needs of Mulan.

Founder & CEO of Plivo - https://www.plivo.com/ here. At Plivo we offer similar API services to Twilio for voice calls and SMS. While API offerings have made it easier for developers and tech team to integrate communications into their applications, one of the challenges here is the scale at which spammers and folks using stolen credit cards are always attempting to abuse all of our platforms.
Most of us companies, work quite hard to deter these spammers at sign up and later using automated systems to analyze usage patterns including content filtering, but its quite a cat and mouse game.
Something that has worked for us has been to restrict signups to only work emails. It does have it's disadvantages but we have been able to limit the random gmail id signups at scale by bot/spammers that abuse the system for use cases like robocalling and more.
Peerless is now owned by Infobip.

In general most APIs incorporate number portability for US. It's much more harder to do this for countries internationally.
We at Plivo also provide such an API which incorporates number portability for US: https://www.plivo.com/docs/lookup/
Plivo's API above is updated on a daily basis for portability information.
Caller ID as you mention for voice calls is quite easy to spoof, however with the STIR SHAKEN rollout, the intention is to make carriers accountable. SMS however with 10DLC is almost impossible to spoof the number.
Would love to see insights on how https://www.kooapp.com/ is?
Cool collection of elements here to browse

This is also being added to pytorch
Would it be fair to compare these with M1s and if yes how would they compare side by side?
Your pricing is pretty bad. For it to be adopted, it should be like loom, flat fee per user/month and not minutes based.
Well, like it or not it helps a lot with web first exp. and also with collaboration.
1. Its a private equity raise not a VC round. This usually comes with secondary stock sale for liquidity to founding team .
2. The multiple is low due to low gross margins which is in the early twenties to mid twenties.
Well, thats not a fair comparison. A key aspect of valuation here is governed by Gross Margins. Infobip and a lot of the companies mentioned below on this thread have gross margins in the early to mid twenties in contrast to Twilio, which is in the early fifties and thats one major reason for the difference in valuation. The other is growth % YoY.
Disclosure: I am the co-founder of https://www.plivo.com/, a startup in the same space.

Good work.

Hi HN,
I am the co-founder of Plivo.
Back in the summer of 2012 while we graduated out of Ycombinator, we released APIs for developers to integrate SMS and Voice in their apps. Over the last 7 years that has helped us grow to 70,000 customers.
The abstraction of complex telecom infra via APIs in 2012 was a game changer in many ways. It gave web and mobile developers the ability to add powerful functionality in a few days.
Today we are really excited to announce the Public Beta of PHLO (Plivo High Level Objects) - A whole new visual way of integrating Voice and SMS in minutes. With PHLO you get:
- Pre-built use case templates with the option to add custom code - 100% functional parity with Plivo API & XML - Serverless architecture hosted on Plivo infrastructure - Offered for free, regardless of scale
Here's a quick concept video we made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZmtRTe_vQo
Would love to get thoughts from the community.
