Choose agno if…
- Tags unique to agno: agents, ai-agents, developer-tools.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- Use agno for a high level of control over your AI agent platform, including 50+ production API endpoints and support for 100+ integrations. Ideal if you need to customize data ownership and permissions.
When NOT to use agno
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
Choose SPIN if…
- Tags unique to SPIN: deep-learning, fine-tuning, large-language-models, self-play.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (24).
When NOT to use SPIN
- Last GitHub push was 795 days ago (dormant maintenance, May 8, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on SPIN.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
