## Choose when

### Choose secure-ai-agent-boundary if…

- secure-ai-agent-boundary is primarily HTML; gpt_academic is Python.
- Tags unique to secure-ai-agent-boundary: ai-security, claude-opus, coding-agents, data-boundary.
- Also covers AI Agents.

### Choose gpt_academic if…

- gpt_academic is primarily Python; secure-ai-agent-boundary is HTML.
- Requirements: Min 8 GB RAM; 依赖Python环境.
- Tags unique to gpt_academic: academic, chatglm-6b, chatgpt, gpt-4.
- gpt_academic ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- 需要使用GPT或GLM大语言模型进行高效的学术论文相关任务时

## When NOT to use secure-ai-agent-boundary

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- 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

- Last GitHub push was 171 days ago (slowing maintenance, Jan 25, 2026). Validate activity before betting a new project on gpt_academic.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
