## Choose when

### Choose all-in-rag if…

- Tags unique to all-in-rag: embedding, langchain, milvus, multimodal.
- - When you want a comprehensive resource that covers both the theoretical foundations and practical application of RAG.
- More GitHub stars (10k vs 859) - visibility, not fit.

### Choose rag-demystified if…

- Tags unique to rag-demystified: chatgpt, gpt, question-answering, rag.
- Use when you want an in-depth understanding and customization of the RAG pipeline as it is built from scratch, enabling a deep dive into implementation details.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (2).

## When NOT to use all-in-rag

- - Avoid if you are looking for a solution that only focuses on theoretical aspects without practical implementation guidance.
- - If your project does not require multi-modal support or is solely focused on text-based applications, more specialized tools might provide better optimization.
- - Not suitable if you're seeking quick prototyping or a light-weight framework; all-in-rag emphasizes comprehensive learning and production-ready practices.

## When NOT to use rag-demystified

- Not suitable for those needing out-of-the-box solutions or users who prefer using pre-configured RAG tools as it requires detailed coding knowledge.
- Avoid if the project timeline is tight since building and customizing from scratch can be time-consuming compared to other available pre-built options.
