Choose sad if…
- sad is primarily HTML; generative-ai-for-beginners is Jupyter Notebook.
- License: sad is CC-BY-4.0, generative-ai-for-beginners is MIT.
- Tags unique to sad: html, llm-evaluation, ml.
When NOT to use sad
- Last GitHub push was 578 days ago (dormant maintenance, Dec 14, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on sad.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
