However, it犺 ## Choose when ### Choose FuzzyAI if… - FuzzyAI is primarily Jupyter Notebook; caveman is JavaScript. - License: FuzzyAI is Apache-2.0, caveman is MIT. - Tags unique to FuzzyAI: jailbreak, llm, jailbreaking, fuzzing. - Also covers Evaluation & Observability. ### Choose caveman if… - caveman is primarily JavaScript; FuzzyAI is Jupyter Notebook. - License: caveman is MIT, FuzzyAI is Apache-2.0. - Tags unique to caveman: caveman, tokens, claude-code, anthropic. - When you need to significantly cut down on token usage in AI interactions, up to 65%, without losing essential information content. ## When NOT to use FuzzyAI - Last GitHub push was 155 days ago (slowing maintenance, Feb 6, 2026). Validate activity before betting a new project on FuzzyAI. - 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. - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. ## When NOT to use caveman - When requiring complex and detailed prompts that necessitate more nuanced expression beyond simple, 'caveman'-style sentences. - For situations where adherence to formal or specific linguistic structures is mandatory for the task's success. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between FuzzyAI and caveman?
