When should I avoid gateway?

When your project only involves a few specific LLMs that don't require a comprehensive, unified SDK; in this case using direct SDKs from those LLM providers could simplify your setup. If you are working primarily in languages other than TypeScript and need an SDK that supports those environments natively for better performance or community support.

When should I avoid llmfit?

- When the focus is on model development rather than discovery or management; llmfit centers on finding models based on hardware but does not provide deep integration into the training process itself. - If real-time adaptability and dynamic hardware compatibility changes are needed, as llmfit operates with a more static approach tied to one command per execution.
