Prefer an active alternative unless you maintain a private fork or need a frozen dependency. - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between 1Panel and scikit-optimize? 1Panel: A modern, open-source VPS control panel with native AI agent support. scikit-optimize: Sequential model-based optimization with a `scipy.optimize` interface. See the comparison table for live GitHub stats and shared categories. ### When should I choose 1Panel over scikit-optimize?
