## Choose when

### Choose gpt_academic if…

- gpt_academic is primarily Python; langchaingo is Go.
- License: gpt_academic is GPL-3.0, langchaingo is MIT.
- Requirements: Min 8 GB RAM; 依赖Python环境.
- Tags unique to gpt_academic: large-language-models, academic, chatglm-6b, 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

### Choose langchaingo if…

- langchaingo is primarily Go; gpt_academic is Python.
- License: langchaingo is MIT, gpt_academic is GPL-3.0.
- Tags unique to langchaingo: go, ai, langchain, golang.
- - You are working on a project that requires LLM-based capabilities, but prefer to code in Go.

## When NOT to use gpt_academic

- 主要任务不是围绕论文和学术资料处理时, 特别是不涉及到大语言模型的实际应用情况
- 不需要自定义快捷按钮与高级功能插件，且对通用的大语言模型交互界面已经满意
- 侧重于文本创作以外的开发流程优化（例如：性能调优或低层级编程实现）
- 只需要基本的数据翻译或总结工具，无需连接多个大语言模型来提升任务效率

## When NOT to use langchaingo

- - If your project strictly adheres to another programming language where other implementations of LangChain are available.
- - When your application requires heavy customization at the framework level that might not be directly supported within LangChainGo’s current implementation.
