## Choose when

### Choose awesome-2vec if…

- Tags unique to awesome-2vec: awesome, embeddings, list.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (0).

### Choose awesome-mlops if…

- Tags unique to awesome-mlops: engineering, data-science, ml, ai.
- Also covers Model Training, Inference & Serving.
- More GitHub stars (14k vs 934) - visibility, not fit.

## When NOT to use awesome-2vec

- Last GitHub push was 1311 days ago (dormant maintenance, Dec 8, 2022). Validate activity before betting a new project on awesome-2vec.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.

## When NOT to use awesome-mlops

- Last GitHub push was 597 days ago (dormant maintenance, Nov 21, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on awesome-mlops.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
