## Decision facts: Prompt-Engineering-Guide

- **Adopt for:** Decision-critical facts for Prompt-Engineering-Guide

## Choose when

### Choose Awesome-LLMs-ICLR-24 if…

- Tags unique to Awesome-LLMs-ICLR-24: large-language-model, large-language-models, large-language-models-and-translation-sy, large-language-models-for-graph-learning.
- Also covers Vector Databases.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (0).

### Choose Prompt-Engineering-Guide if…

- Tags unique to Prompt-Engineering-Guide: agent, agents, ai-agents, chatgpt.
- When you seek comprehensive documentation and educational materials specifically focused on the nuance of prompt engineering techniques.
- More GitHub stars (76k vs 72) - visibility, not fit.

## When NOT to use Awesome-LLMs-ICLR-24

- Last GitHub push was 832 days ago (dormant maintenance, Apr 4, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on Awesome-LLMs-ICLR-24.
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- 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.

## When NOT to use Prompt-Engineering-Guide

- Avoid using if your focus is entirely on deep-learning frameworks without a need for detailed instructions or examples related to prompt crafting.
- Not suitable when you require tools that go beyond guiding materials, such as custom prompts or direct software plugins provided by competitors focused more on practical implementation over learning.
