Choose airflow if…
- License: airflow is Apache-2.0, quant-mind is MIT.
- Tags unique to airflow: airflow, apache, apache-airflow, automation.
- Also covers AI Agents, Computer Vision.
- airflow ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
When NOT to use airflow
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.
Choose quant-mind if…
- License: quant-mind is MIT, airflow is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to quant-mind: data, knowledge, llm, pipeline.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability, LLM Frameworks.
When NOT to use quant-mind
- 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.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
