Choose sqlite-vss if…
- Tags unique to sqlite-vss: sqlite-extension, sqlite, c++, vector-search.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (80).
When NOT to use sqlite-vss
- Last GitHub push was 797 days ago (dormant maintenance, May 5, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on sqlite-vss.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
Choose carla if…
- Tags unique to carla: ai, artificial-intelligence, carla-simulator, cross-platform.
- Also covers Model Training, AI Agents.
- More GitHub stars (14k vs 2.0k) - visibility, not fit.
When NOT to use carla
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
