Choose future-agi if…
- future-agi is primarily Python; gpt4all is C++.
- License: future-agi is Apache-2.0, gpt4all is MIT.
- Tags unique to future-agi: llm, ai, python, evals.
- Also covers AI Agents.

When NOT to use future-agi
- 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.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
Choose gpt4all if…
- gpt4all is primarily C++; future-agi is Python.
- License: gpt4all is MIT, future-agi is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to gpt4all: ai-chat, c++, llm-inference.
