Potential naming confusion with existing "Nextflow" projectΒ #4

Hi there! πŸ‘‹

Congrats on the paper and the project – the unified approach to multimodal understanding and generation looks really interesting.

I just wanted to flag that there's an established open-source project with the same name, (@nextflow-io / nextflow, https://nextflow.io), that's been around since 2013. It's a workflow orchestration tool widely used in bioinformatics and data science, with a pretty active community.

Given the identical naming, there might be some potential for confusion in searches, citations, or discussions – particularly since both projects touch on pipelines/flows in their respective domains.

Thought it was worth mentioning in case you weren't aware! For reference, the Nextflow project does have some trademark information if that's helpful context.

Thanks, and best of luck with the project!

Phil
