## Choose when

### Choose datasets if…

- datasets is primarily Python; ququ is JavaScript.
- License: datasets is Apache-2.0, ququ is Other.
- Tags unique to datasets: dataset-hub, deep-learning, llm, ai.
- Also covers Model Training, LLM Frameworks.

### Choose ququ if…

- ququ is primarily JavaScript; datasets is Python.
- License: ququ is Other, datasets is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to ququ: ai-text-processing, chinese-speech-recognition, speech-to-text, local-processing.

## When NOT to use datasets

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

## When NOT to use ququ

- Last GitHub push was 277 days ago (slowing maintenance, Oct 8, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on ququ.
