Choose jax if…
- jax is primarily Python; rembo is Matlab.
- Tags unique to jax: jax, python.
- Also covers Computer Vision.
When NOT to use jax
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
Choose rembo if…
- rembo is primarily Matlab; jax is Python.
- Tags unique to rembo: matlab.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (3).
When NOT to use rembo
- Last GitHub push was 4724 days ago (dormant maintenance, Aug 4, 2013). Validate activity before betting a new project on rembo.
