Validate activity before betting a new project on ArtiVC. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. - Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers. ## When NOT to use context7 - Avoid Context7 if your current project doesn't involve integration with Large Language Models or any AI-driven code editing utilities, as it will not offer significant advantages. - If your team strictly adheres to a development workflow that does not benefit from having real-time documentation tailored for LLMs and AI code editors, opting for more general developer tools may be更 ## Common questions ### What is the difference between ArtiVC and context7?
