## Choose when

### Choose llama2-webui if…

- llama2-webui is primarily Jupyter Notebook; GPTRouter is TypeScript.
- Requirements: - Ensure you have access to Llama 2 models before proceeding.; - Requires a Python environment capable of running Jupyter Notebooks along with the specified dependencies such as Gradio..
- Tags unique to llama2-webui: gradio, llama-2, local-inference.
- - When you want to run Llama 2 models locally with minimal setup across various operating systems like Linux, Windows, and Mac.

### Choose GPTRouter if…

- GPTRouter is primarily TypeScript; llama2-webui is Jupyter Notebook.
- Pricing: GPTRouter is open-source under the MIT License. However, costs might arise from using associated models like OpenAI or Anthropic..
- Requirements: Min 2 GB RAM.
- Tags unique to GPTRouter: anthropic, azure-openai, cohere, google-gemini.
- Also covers Model Training.
- GPTRouter ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When your project requires seamless integration of different language models such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Azure and demands reliability and fast response times.

## When NOT to use llama2-webui

- - Avoid if you are looking for broader support beyond Llama 2 models; this tool is specifically tailored to work with the Llama 2 series.
- - Not recommended if your project strictly requires a web-based deployment without a local server component, as it emphasizes local model inference.

## When NOT to use GPTRouter

- Avoid using GPTRouter if your project strictly uses Python without the flexibility to adopt TypeScript, as it may hinder seamless integration.
- If your application exclusively focuses on a single LLM or image model provider lacking the need for managing multiple providers, consider alternatives more focused in scope and potentially lighter.
