Reviewer scorecard
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
“The most mature AI API with the largest ecosystem. Function calling, JSON mode, and assistants API cover every use case.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
“Reliability has improved significantly. The ecosystem and tooling around OpenAI's API remain unmatched.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
“OpenAI set the standard for AI APIs. The Assistants API and real-time API point toward increasingly capable agent platforms.”
