- Tags unique to aquila: information-retrieval-engine, aquila, information-retrieval, feature-vectors.
- Also covers Computer Vision, Inference & Serving.
When NOT to use aquila
- Last GitHub push was 796 days ago (dormant maintenance, May 6, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on aquila.

When NOT to use ChatGLM-6B
- Last GitHub push was 744 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jun 27, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on ChatGLM-6B.
- 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.
- Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.
