Choose caffe if…
- caffe is primarily C++; apps is Python.
- License: caffe is Other, apps is MIT.
- Tags unique to caffe: deep-learning, vision, machine-learning, c++.
- Also covers Computer Vision.
When NOT to use caffe
- Last GitHub push was 710 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jul 31, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on caffe.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
Choose apps if…
- apps is primarily Python; caffe is C++.
- License: apps is MIT, caffe is Other.
- Tags unique to apps: program-synthesis, python, code-generation.
- Also covers Model Training, Evaluation & Observability.
When NOT to use apps
- Last GitHub push was 753 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jun 19, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on apps.
- 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.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
