Choose dust if…
- dust is primarily TypeScript; cc-switch is Rust.
- Tags unique to dust: agents, llm, large-language-models, rust.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.
- dust ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
When NOT to use dust
- 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.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
Choose cc-switch if…
- cc-switch is primarily Rust; dust is TypeScript.
- Tags unique to cc-switch: hermes-agent, hermes, codex, desktop-app.
- More GitHub stars (116k vs 1.4k) - visibility, not fit.
