Validate activity before betting a new project on eko. - 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. - Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic. ## When NOT to use langflow - - For developers preferring a code-first approach who find GUI interfaces restrictive for customization and workflow. - - When the project does not align with or leverage the specific topics of focus such as ChatGPT, multi-agent systems, or requires integration with platforms that Langflow's graphical interface cannot旖 ## Common questions ### What is the difference between eko and langflow? eko: Eko (Eko Keeps Operating) - Build Production-ready Agentic Workflow with Natural Language - eko.fellou.ai. langflow: Langflow is a powerful tool for building and deploying AI-powered agents and workflows..
