## Choose when

### Choose goptuna if…

- goptuna is primarily Go; Agent-Reach is Python.
- Tags unique to goptuna: bandit-algorithms, bayesian-optimization, blackbox-optimization, evolution-strategies.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (19).

### Choose Agent-Reach if…

- Agent-Reach is primarily Python; goptuna is Go.
- Tags unique to Agent-Reach: agent-infrastructure, ai-agent, ai-search, automation.
- Also covers AI Agents, LLM Frameworks.

## When NOT to use goptuna

- Last GitHub push was 333 days ago (slowing maintenance, Aug 12, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on goptuna.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.

## When NOT to use Agent-Reach

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
