Choose CLI if…
- License: CLI is Other, moby is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to CLI: ai, automation, bash, chatgpt.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (15).
When NOT to use CLI
- Last GitHub push was 448 days ago (dormant maintenance, Apr 23, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on CLI.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
Choose moby if…
- License: moby is Apache-2.0, CLI is Other.
- Tags unique to moby: containers, docker, go, golang.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- moby ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
When NOT to use moby
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
