and antirez seems to want to make it open-source again eventually: https://changelog.com/podcast/631#transcript-36

Valkey is the open-source fork blessed by antirez and where the community is moving.

Migrating a bunch of old and new dbs from Redis 6.x to Valkey 7 went smoothly here.

If you're migrating: 7.2 is the ideal version to switch over. If you upgrade Redis above it, compatibility guarantees drop.

Valkey is not blessed by antirez. Antirez is back working at Redis and even committed an entirely new feature himself for Redis 8 under the new license which is not in Valkey.

On his new vector sets feature: https://antirez.com/news/149
