## Choose when

### Choose awesome-embedding-models if…

- awesome-embedding-models is primarily Jupyter Notebook; ChatGLM-6B is Python.
- License: awesome-embedding-models is MIT, ChatGLM-6B is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to awesome-embedding-models: awesome, embedding-models, embeddings, jupyter notebook.

### Choose ChatGLM-6B if…

- ChatGLM-6B is primarily Python; awesome-embedding-models is Jupyter Notebook.
- License: ChatGLM-6B is Apache-2.0, awesome-embedding-models is MIT.
- Tags unique to ChatGLM-6B: python.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval, LLM Frameworks.

## When NOT to use awesome-embedding-models

- Last GitHub push was 2652 days ago (dormant maintenance, Apr 7, 2019). Validate activity before betting a new project on awesome-embedding-models.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.

## 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.
