The README attributes the framework to LlamaIndex, "the company behind LlamaParse", and the repository is under the company's run-llama GitHub organization. The developer docs describe it as built by the makers of LlamaParse. LlamaIndex, Inc. provides the company's services under Delaware law, and its 2025 press release boilerplate says it is based in San Francisco. The LICENSE file's copyright line names an individual rather than the company, and this assessment does not rely on it. No foundation or multi-organization governance body is documented.25893
