Validate activity before betting a new project on MockingBird. - Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic. - Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge. ## When NOT to use Awesome-AutoDL - Last GitHub push was 1385 days ago (dormant maintenance, Sep 26, 2022). Validate activity before betting a new project on Awesome-AutoDL. - Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge. - Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between MockingBird and Awesome-AutoDL?
