## Choose when

### Choose fact-checker if…

- Tags unique to fact-checker: jupyter notebook, python.
- Also covers Vector Databases.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (0).

### Choose awesome-LLM-resources if…

- Tags unique to awesome-LLM-resources: awesome-list, book, course, large-language-models.

- - It's ideal when you seek an exhaustive and up-to-date compilation covering extensive knowledge points in LLM technologies.

## When NOT to use fact-checker

- Last GitHub push was 992 days ago (dormant maintenance, Oct 23, 2023). Validate activity before betting a new project on fact-checker.
- 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.

## When NOT to use awesome-LLM-resources

- - Avoid using this resource if you specifically need detailed step-by-step guides or hands-on tutorials that focus deeply on a single technology rather than broad coverage.
