Choose ospec if…
- ospec is primarily JavaScript; cc-switch is Rust.
- Tags unique to ospec: ai, ai-coding-assistant, agentic-ai, agentic-coding.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.
When NOT to use ospec
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
Choose cc-switch if…
- cc-switch is primarily Rust; ospec is JavaScript.
- Tags unique to cc-switch: hermes-agent, hermes, codex, desktop-app.
- More GitHub stars (116k vs 559) - visibility, not fit.
