## Choose when

### Choose llama2-webui if…

- llama2-webui is primarily Jupyter Notebook; moby is Go.
- License: llama2-webui is MIT, moby is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to llama2-webui: jupyter notebook, llama-2, llama2, llm.
- Also covers AI Agents.

### Choose moby if…

- moby is primarily Go; llama2-webui is Jupyter Notebook.
- License: moby is Apache-2.0, llama2-webui is MIT.
- Tags unique to moby: containers, docker, go, golang.

## When NOT to use llama2-webui

- Last GitHub push was 842 days ago (dormant maintenance, Mar 22, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on llama2-webui.
- 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.
