## Choose when

### Choose determined if…

- determined is primarily Go; Agent-Reach is Python.
- License: determined is Apache-2.0, Agent-Reach is MIT.
- Tags unique to determined: data-science, deep-learning, hyperparameter-search, distributed-training.
- Also covers Model Training, Inference & Serving.

### Choose Agent-Reach if…

- Agent-Reach is primarily Python; determined is Go.
- License: Agent-Reach is MIT, determined is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to Agent-Reach: agent-infrastructure, ai-search, bilibili, claude-code.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks, AI Agents.

## When NOT to use determined

- Last GitHub push was 478 days ago (dormant maintenance, Mar 20, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on determined.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.

## When NOT to use Agent-Reach

- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
