This repository is heavily focused on practical aspects. - If your project needs languages other than Python or uses frameworks not discussed here, the LLM-Agents-Ecosystem-Handbook may not be suitable as it concentrates exclusively on Python tools and LLM ecosystems. - If you're aiming to work with a very niche aspect of LLMs that isn't yet covered by this extensive but still limited set of resources. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between future-agi and LLM-Agents-Ecosystem-Handbook? future-agi: End-to-end platform for evaluating, observing, and improving LLM and AI agent applications.
