Choose beta9 if…
- License: beta9 is AGPL-3.0, llm-course is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to beta9: fine-tuning, faas, functions-as-a-service, cloudrun.

When NOT to use beta9
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
