## Choose when

### Choose awesome-2vec if…

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

### Choose ChatGLM-6B if…

- Tags unique to ChatGLM-6B: python.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval, LLM Frameworks.
- More GitHub stars (41k vs 934) - visibility, not fit.

## When NOT to use awesome-2vec

- Last GitHub push was 1312 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 ChatGLM-6B

- Last GitHub push was 745 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jun 27, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on ChatGLM-6B.
- Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
