## Choose when

### Choose oh-my-pi if…

- oh-my-pi is primarily TypeScript; cc-switch is Rust.
- Tags unique to oh-my-pi: ai-agent, ai-coding-agent, anthropic, bun.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.

### Choose cc-switch if…

- cc-switch is primarily Rust; oh-my-pi is TypeScript.
- Tags unique to cc-switch: ai-tools, claude-code, codex, desktop-app.
- More GitHub stars (116k vs 17k) - visibility, not fit.

## When NOT to use oh-my-pi

- 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.
