# ragflow vs lima

ragflow and lima share 4 technologies: net/http, MCP, Model Context Protocol, and golang.org/x/image. Both are written in Go.

- [infiniflow/ragflow](https://seerepo.com/r/infiniflow/ragflow): RAGFlow is an agent-native database: a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) engine that grew into context infrastructure.
- [lima-vm/lima](https://seerepo.com/r/lima-vm/lima): Linux virtual machines, with a focus on running containers

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
