## Choose when

### Choose uqlm if…

- License: uqlm is Apache-2.0, Agent-Reach is MIT.
- Tags unique to uqlm: ai-safety, hallucination-evaluation, hallucination, hallucination-mitigation.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability, Computer Vision.

### Choose Agent-Reach if…

- License: Agent-Reach is MIT, uqlm is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to Agent-Reach: agent-infrastructure, ai-search, bilibili, claude-code.
- Also covers AI Agents, Developer Tools.

## When NOT to use uqlm

- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.

## When NOT to use Agent-Reach

- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- 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.
