Choose distributed-llama if…
- distributed-llama is primarily C++; gateway is Go.
- License: distributed-llama is MIT, gateway is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to distributed-llama: distributed-computing, llm-inference, neural-network.
- When you have multiple interconnected home devices and want to maximize their combined computing power for LLM inference tasks.
When NOT to use distributed-llama
- For scenarios with fewer than two available devices, as the framework's capability to distribute and boost performance would be limited.
- In professional environments that require strict data privacy controls, due to potential network vulnerabilities among home devices.
Choose gateway if…
- gateway is primarily Go; distributed-llama is C++.
- License: gateway is Apache-2.0, distributed-llama is MIT.
- Pricing: The tool is free to use under the Apache-2.0 license, with no explicit premium features mentioned..
- Requirements: Min 2 GB RAM; Requires Docker; Docker is required for deployment, and the tool supports a wide range of operating systems..
- Tags unique to gateway: ai, aistudio, api, gateway.
- gateway ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- Use AI Gateway when you need to deploy production-ready AI applications across various operating systems, as it supports macOS, Windows, Linux, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD.
When NOT to use gateway
- Avoid AI Gateway if you require a tool that is actively maintained, as the repository indicates the tool is deprecated.
- Do not use AI Gateway if you need a solution that supports real-time updates or the latest features, since the deprecation status suggests limited ongoing development and support.
