## Choose when

### Choose hyprwhspr if…

- License: hyprwhspr is MIT, datasets is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to hyprwhspr: archlinux, cachyos, cohere-ai, debian.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (2).

### Choose datasets if…

- License: datasets is Apache-2.0, hyprwhspr is MIT.
- Tags unique to datasets: artificial-intelligence, computer-vision, dataset-hub, datasets.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks, Model Training.

## When NOT to use datasets

- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
