Why is that? It’s just an extra type that has no impact on any other types. It’s a tool in your toolbox that you can use when you need it and ignore otherwise.
Seems strange that especially with the push for modules this was integrated as a core type. It has nothing to do with buildkit or builds.
With LLMs becoming core to the development workflow, it kinda makes sense to have a primitive, since LLM i/o is a bit different from other functions. I haven't tried it, but this thread had me go look at the details and now it's on the roadmap. Probably make something of an agentic workflow that uses a tool in a container, see how it works out. I'm still skeptical that Dagger is a good tool or ecosystem for LLM work without integrations to all the extra stuff you need around LLMs and agents.
But I can appreciate your perspective. Thank you for sharing your point of view.
