Validate activity before betting a new project on langchain-tutorials. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. - Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate. - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. ## When NOT to use OpenHands - - If your project primarily uses technologies outside Python and you do not intend to integrate with ChatGPT or Claude-AI models specifically. - - When the need for customization in AI model integration is limited, as OpenHands is more rigid in its current support for specific models like ChatGPT and Claude-AI. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between langchain-tutorials and OpenHands? langchain-tutorials: Overview and tutorial of the LangChain Library.
