Validate activity before betting a new project on yu-ai-agent. - Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge. - Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic. - Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. ## When NOT to use JavaGuide - Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between yu-ai-agent and JavaGuide? yu-ai-agent: AI开发实战新项目.
