Choose sacred if…
- Tags unique to sacred: reproducibility, reproducible-science, machine-learning, python.
- Also covers Model Training.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (107).
When NOT to use sacred
- Last GitHub push was 263 days ago (slowing maintenance, Oct 22, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on sacred.
- 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.
Choose Agent-Reach if…
- Tags unique to Agent-Reach: agent-infrastructure, ai-search, bilibili, claude-code.
- Also covers AI Agents, Developer Tools.
- More GitHub stars (55k vs 4.4k) - visibility, not fit.
When NOT to use Agent-Reach
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
