## Choose when

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

- License: awesome-production-machine-learning is MIT, wikipedia2vec is Other.
- Tags unique to awesome-production-machine-learning: awesome, awesome-list, data-mining, deep-learning.
- Also covers AI Agents, LLM Frameworks.

### Choose wikipedia2vec if…

- License: wikipedia2vec is Other, awesome-production-machine-learning is MIT.
- Tags unique to wikipedia2vec: embeddings, natural-language-processing, nlp, python.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (8).

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

- 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.
- 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 wikipedia2vec

- Last GitHub push was 799 days ago (dormant maintenance, May 3, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on wikipedia2vec.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
