## Choose when

### Choose anti-lie if…

- anti-lie is primarily Python; moby is Go.
- License: anti-lie is Other, moby is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to anti-lie: agent-skills, ai-safety, anti-lie, audit.
- Also covers AI Agents.

### Choose moby if…

- moby is primarily Go; anti-lie is Python.
- License: moby is Apache-2.0, anti-lie is Other.
- Tags unique to moby: containers, docker, go, golang.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- moby ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.

## When NOT to use anti-lie

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.

## When NOT to use moby

- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
