Validate activity before betting a new project on skyagi. - AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. ## When NOT to use TradingAgents - If simplicity and ease of deployment are prioritized over advanced AI capabilities; TradingAgents' complexity might introduce unnecessary overhead. - When the focus is on non-financial applications or when LLM integration isn't necessary, as this framework specializes in financial market trading with a multi-agent approach. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between skyagi and TradingAgents? skyagi: SkyAGI: Emerging human-behavior simulation capability in LLM.
