Validate activity before betting a new project on athina-evals. - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. - 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. ## When NOT to use gpt_academic - 主要任务不是围绕论文和学术资料处理时, 特别是不涉及到大语言模型的实际应用情况 - 不需要自定义快捷按钮与高级功能插件，且对通用的大语言模型交互界面已经满意 - 侧重于文本创作以外的开发流程优化（例如：性能调优或低层级编程实现） - 只需要基本的数据翻译或总结工具，无需连接多个大语言模型来提升任务效率 ## Common questions ### What is the difference between athina-evals and gpt_academic? athina-evals: Python SDK for running evaluations on LLM generated responses. gpt_academic: 提供实用化交互接口，优化论文阅读/润色/写作体验.
