Choose caveman if…
- caveman is primarily JavaScript; LeanEuclid is Lean.
- Tags unique to caveman: caveman, ai, tokens, claude-code.
- When you need to significantly cut down on token usage in AI interactions, up to 65%, without losing essential information content.
When NOT to use caveman
- When requiring complex and detailed prompts that necessitate more nuanced expression beyond simple, 'caveman'-style sentences.
- For situations where adherence to formal or specific linguistic structures is mandatory for the task's success.
Choose LeanEuclid if…
- LeanEuclid is primarily Lean; caveman is JavaScript.
- Tags unique to LeanEuclid: lean, euclidean-geometry, autoformalization, formalization.
- Also covers Computer Vision.
- LeanEuclid ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
When NOT to use LeanEuclid
- Last GitHub push was 228 days ago (slowing maintenance, Nov 25, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on LeanEuclid.
- 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.
