## Choose when

### Choose awesome-production-machine-learning if…

- Tags unique to awesome-production-machine-learning: awesome, deep-learning, data-mining, large-scale-ml.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks, AI Agents.
- More GitHub stars (21k vs 2.8k) - visibility, not fit.

### Choose gerev if…

- Tags unique to gerev: helpdesk, helpdesk-tools, ai, machine-learning.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (26).

## When NOT to use awesome-production-machine-learning

- 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.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.

## When NOT to use gerev

- Last GitHub push was 926 days ago (dormant maintenance, Dec 29, 2023). Validate activity before betting a new project on gerev.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
