Validate activity before betting a new project on ChatGLM-6B. - Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough. - 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. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between generative-ai-docs and ChatGLM-6B? generative-ai-docs: Deprecated documentation for Google's Generative AI tools including Gemini and related APIs.
