## When NOT to use ChatGLM-6B

- Last GitHub push was 745 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jun 27, 2024). 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.
