Harvard Statistics & Machine Learning Early Career
Harrison Chase graduated from Harvard University with a degree in statistics and computer science. He began his career developing computer vision algorithms and machine learning models at Kensho and Robust Intelligence before the release of GPT-3 sparked his open-source breakthrough.
The Creation of LangChain
In October 2022, Chase open-sourced LangChain, a Python and TypeScript library for chaining prompts, vector stores, and external tools together. It exploded in popularity, becoming the de facto framework for AI engineers worldwide.
Commercializing LangSmith & LangGraph
Alongside Ankush Gola, Chase incorporated LangChain, raised capital from Benchmark and Sequoia Capital, and launched LangSmith and LangGraph for enterprise agent observability and control.
