Validate activity before betting a new project on jailbreak-evaluation. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. - Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge. - Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers. ## When NOT to use AI-For-Beginners - Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge. - Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between jailbreak-evaluation and AI-For-Beginners? jailbreak-evaluation: The jailbreak-evaluation is an easy-to-use Python package for language model jailbreak evaluation.. AI-For-Beginners: 12 Weeks, 24 Lessons, AI for All!. See the comparison table for live GitHub stats and shared categories. ### When should I choose jailbreak-evaluation over AI-For-Beginners? Choose jailbreak-evaluation over AI-For-Beginners when jailbreak-evaluation is primarily Python; AI-For-Beginners is Jupyter Notebook; License: jailbreak-evaluation is Apache-2.0, AI-For-Beginners is MIT; Tags unique to jailbreak-evaluation: python; Also covers LLM Frameworks, Evaluation & Observability. ### When should I choose AI-For-Beginners over jailbreak-evaluation?
