They're not providing a local extension with the same performance at the time - it's only offered on their cloud services.
The local version <a href="https://github.com/planetscale/lead" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/planetscale/lead is mainly just for testing the syntax, it doesn't have the same perf characteristics.
Becoming more the norm for them, Neki is the same.
Immediately rules out ever using them (though I don't currently have any problems that would benefit from that level of scale currently, have in the past though).
Postgres's license allows this but for me (personally) it leaves a bad taste.
Also it's not really "full-text search for Postgres" it's "full-text search for our hosted version of Postgres" so the title is a little misleading.

Uh, isn’t this becoming the norm everywhere ever since LLMs have been trained on OSS without credit or attribution? Why wouldn’t you want to hide your stuff going forward?
In my view, OSS is only going to move more and more towards one of two models: open core + proprietary functionality (e.g. MongoDB) OR open source + private tests (e.g. SQLite).

They just want to make money. Advancing technology is 2nd or even lower priority for them.
