Some advanced features might require additional libraries or APIs. - **Requirements:** Min 8 GB RAM - **Adopt for:** AgentDojo serves as a benchmarking environment to evaluate security attacks, like prompt injection, and defenses for Large Language Model (LLM) agents. ## Choose when ### Choose deer-flow if… - Tags unique to deer-flow: agent, agentic-framework, ai-agents, langchain. - When you need to manage lengthy workflows over minutes to hours that require constant supervision or adaptation by the AI agent, deer-flow's long-horizon capabilities make it suitable. - More GitHub stars (80k vs 716) - visibility, not fit. ### Choose agentdojo if… - Pricing: Open-source under the MIT License. Some advanced features might require additional libraries or APIs.. - Requirements: Min 8 GB RAM. - Tags unique to agentdojo: benchmark, large language models, prompt-injection, security. - Also covers Evaluation & Observability. - AgentDojo serves as a benchmarking environment to evaluate security attacks, like prompt injection, and defenses for Large Language Model (LLM) agents. ## When NOT to use deer-flow - For short, straightforward tasks that do not require extensive workflows (under a minute), deer-flow might be overkill due to its advanced functionalities and setup complexity. - If your team is primarily working with technologies like Node.js or TypeScript rather than Python, other tools might offer better integration and support. ## When NOT to use agentdojo - AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism. - Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between deer-flow and agentdojo? deer-flow: An open-source long-horizon SuperAgent that handles complex tasks over minutes to hours.. agentdojo: A Dynamic Environment to Evaluate Prompt Injection Attacks and Defenses for LLM Agents.
