## Choose when

### Choose Open-Prompt-Injection if…

- Open-Prompt-Injection is primarily Python; generative-ai-for-beginners is Jupyter Notebook.
- Tags unique to Open-Prompt-Injection: llm, llm-security, llms, prompt-injection.
- Also covers AI Agents.

### Choose generative-ai-for-beginners if…

- generative-ai-for-beginners is primarily Jupyter Notebook; Open-Prompt-Injection is Python.
- Tags unique to generative-ai-for-beginners: ai, azure, chatgpt, dall-e.
- More GitHub stars (113k vs 464) - visibility, not fit.

## When NOT to use Open-Prompt-Injection

- Last GitHub push was 255 days ago (slowing maintenance, Oct 29, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on Open-Prompt-Injection.
- 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.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
