When should I avoid OneCompression?

LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. 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.
