## Choose when

### Choose artificio if…

- License: artificio is Apache-2.0, scikit-learn is BSD-3-Clause.
- Tags unique to artificio: auto-encoders, applications, deep-learning, ai.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval.

### Choose scikit-learn if…

- License: scikit-learn is BSD-3-Clause, artificio is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to scikit-learn: machine-learning, data-analysis, python, statistics.
- More GitHub stars (67k vs 418) - visibility, not fit.

## When NOT to use artificio

- Last GitHub push was 1423 days ago (dormant maintenance, Aug 19, 2022). Validate activity before betting a new project on artificio.
- Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.

## When NOT to use scikit-learn

- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
