Notable documented facts

  • Chroma's documentation says most of its engineering effort goes to distributed Chroma and the cloud service, so the single-node open-source version may temporarily lack some features.6

U.S. eligibility

How this record meets the catalog’s published eligibility policy.

Eligible · basis: U.S. headquarters

Chroma's terms of service identify Chroma Inc. and give its address for legal notices in San Francisco, California; its privacy policy gives the same San Francisco address, and its open roles are listed in San Francisco. No separate headquarters statement or regulatory filing was found, so the basis rests on these company pages.234
