## Choose when

### Choose Awesome-Datasets-Hub if…

- Tags unique to Awesome-Datasets-Hub: benchmark, benchmarking, deep-learning, deep-neural-networks.
- Also covers Vector Databases.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (0).

### Choose datatrove if…

- Tags unique to datatrove: python.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- More GitHub stars (3.2k vs 146) - visibility, not fit.

## When NOT to use Awesome-Datasets-Hub

- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.

## When NOT to use datatrove

- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
