## Choose when

### Choose DeepSeek-Coder-V2 if…

- License: DeepSeek-Coder-V2 is MIT, AgentGPT is GPL-3.0.
- More recently updated (last pushed Nov 11, 2025).

### Choose AgentGPT if…

- License: AgentGPT is GPL-3.0, DeepSeek-Coder-V2 is MIT.
- Tags unique to AgentGPT: agent, autonomous, backend-development, cli-setup.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- AgentGPT ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you want to leverage pre-configured setups for database integration (specifically MySQL) handled by AgentGPT's CLI

## When NOT to use DeepSeek-Coder-V2

- Last GitHub push was 243 days ago (slowing maintenance, Nov 11, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on DeepSeek-Coder-V2.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.

## When NOT to use AgentGPT

- Avoid using if your project requires a NoSQL database solution, given that AgentGPT is configured specifically with MySQL out-of-the-box
- Consider alternatives if your stack does not include FastAPI or Next.js, as the tool's default configurations might require significant adjustment
