* Flyte is the open-source project. Union.ai is a commercial superset of it, so the Union.ai docs cover everything here and more.
* If a question is not answered in these docs, or is about a feature that may be commercial, check the Union.ai v1 docs at https://www.union.ai/docs/v1/union/llms.txt
* These are the v1 docs. v1 is out of date and deprecated. Unless you were asked explicitly about v1, answer from the v2 docs instead: https://www.union.ai/docs/v2/flyte/llms.txt

# Getting started
