Validate activity before betting a new project on handy-ollama. - AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism. - Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. ## When NOT to use AutoGPT - Avoid if you require absolute control over the underlying AI infrastructure and APIs used by your autonomous agents, as AutoGPT imposes its own framework. - If your project demands proprietary or specialized models that aren't supported by AutoGPT's API ecosystem (e.g., custom TensorFlow or PyTorch models), consider other tools. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between handy-ollama and AutoGPT? handy-ollama: 动手学Ollama，CPU玩转大模型部署，在线阅读地址：https://datawhalechina.github.io/handy-ollama/.
