## Choose when

### Choose CorridorKey-Runtime if…

- CorridorKey-Runtime is primarily C++; Agent-Reach is Python.
- License: CorridorKey-Runtime is Other, Agent-Reach is MIT.
- Tags unique to CorridorKey-Runtime: davinci-resolve, ai, cpp, apple-silicon.
- Also covers Inference & Serving, Computer Vision.

### Choose Agent-Reach if…

- Agent-Reach is primarily Python; CorridorKey-Runtime is C++.
- License: Agent-Reach is MIT, CorridorKey-Runtime is Other.
- Tags unique to Agent-Reach: agent-infrastructure, ai-search, bilibili, claude-code.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks, AI Agents.

## When NOT to use CorridorKey-Runtime

- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.

## When NOT to use Agent-Reach

- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- 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.
