## Decision facts: anything-llm

- **Adopt for:** Self-hosted AI agent experience with robust deployment scripts across multiple environments.

## Choose when

### Choose deepteam if…

- deepteam is primarily Python; anything-llm is JavaScript.
- License: deepteam is Apache-2.0, anything-llm is MIT.
- Tags unique to deepteam: llm-guardrails, llm-red-teaming, llm-safety, llm-seecurity.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.

### Choose anything-llm if…

- anything-llm is primarily JavaScript; deepteam is Python.
- License: anything-llm is MIT, deepteam is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to anything-llm: agent-computer, agent-harness, agentic-ai, llm.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- When you need flexibility in deploying your AI agents on various cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, Digital Ocean, and more.

## When NOT to use deepteam

- 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.

## When NOT to use anything-llm

- Avoid if you require an agent without additional setup or prefer SaaS solutions over self-managed deployments.
- Not suitable for users who are looking for no-code alternatives as setting up AnythingLLM might necessitate some coding knowledge despite offering multiple scripts and methods.
