When should I avoid DeepSeek-R1?

Avoid if you need foundational models rather than distilled versions, as DeepSeek-R1 specializes in providing smaller, more efficient models suitable for resource-constrained environments. If your project is tightly regulated or requires models from a different lineage, as DeepSeek-R1 exclusively provides derivatives of Qwen and LLaMA series.

When should I avoid ChuanhuChatGPT?

AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism. LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
