# Chroma is joining Replit to build a context layer for agents

Chroma has [signed a definitive agreement](<https://x.com/trychroma/status/2113677289334706274>) to join [Replit](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/products/replit>). ChromaDB and Foundation, its enterprise context product, will continue there as the companies work on a context layer for agents.

Chroma Cloud is winding down over the next 60 days from the October 23 announcement. Open-source Chroma stays under Apache 2.0.

Chroma makes [ChromaDB](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/products/chroma>), the open-source vector database it says gets about 6 million downloads a month, and Foundation, its newer product for self-improving enterprise context. Both will continue at Replit, whose president Michele Catasta and CEO Amjad Masad were early Chroma investors.
