## Choose when

### Choose hypertunity if…

- License: hypertunity is Apache-2.0, code-review-graph is MIT.
- Tags unique to hypertunity: bayesian-optimization, gpyopt, hyperparameter-optimization, python.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (0).

### Choose code-review-graph if…

- License: code-review-graph is MIT, hypertunity is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to code-review-graph: ai-coding, claude, claude-code, code-review.
- Also covers Developer Tools, LLM Frameworks.

## When NOT to use hypertunity

- Last GitHub push was 2358 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jan 26, 2020). Validate activity before betting a new project on hypertunity.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.

## When NOT to use code-review-graph

- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
