Validate activity before betting a new project on sagify. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. - Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic. - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. ## When NOT to use llm-course - - If you only require a quick introduction to LLMs without deep dive into core components - - When you prefer working directly with commercial platforms that provide complete services rather than following detailed steps on building and deploying models yourself through this course's open,DI ## Common questions ### What is the difference between sagify and llm-course? sagify: LLMs and Machine Learning done easily. llm-course: Course to get into Large Language Models (LLMs) with roadmaps and Colab notebooks..
