Is this public? I'm interested in trying it.
replyI don't have an account but my colleauges do as my company uses the platform.
replyBy self-service, do you mean that the SDK generators are now source-available so they can be run by end users locally?
Yes, that’s right.
replyThat would be great to lead with since it's not present in any of the blog post communication anywhere.
replyI don't think the generators themselves were open-sourced (only the generated SDKs were already open-source). That leaves three main (recommended) options:
reply* Manual Maintenance: Returning to the pre-Stainless era.
* Agentic Coding: Works to an extent, but you lose the deterministic, review-free output required to keep an SDK perfectly structured and coherent.
* Open-source Generators: Helpful for basic use cases, but they lack Stainless's full-stack features like multi-language generation and publishing, MCPs, and documentation.
No, the generator itself is being made source-available for previous customers
replyHuh! I see stlc option is added now mentioning "eligible customers", which is great news. I'm curious if we would also get GitHub action?
replyI'm viewing this as a user of non-Ant Stainless SDKs. I don't have an account or relationship with you guys, and thanks to your (excellent!) product, the surfaces I contact don't have a direct dependence on your services. But that surface is intimately informed by the nuances of your product! It'd be nice to allay (or confirm) people's fears about how this might impact your other prominent users!
replyGood point. FWIW if anyone reading this is a stainless user and is concerned about their situation you can reach out to transition@stainless.com. I check with the team if they can update the article with a mention
