## Choose when

### Choose AI-For-Beginners if…

- AI-For-Beginners is primarily Jupyter Notebook; latent-jailbreak is Python.
- Tags unique to AI-For-Beginners: ai, artificial-intelligence, cnn, computer-vision.
- Also covers Computer Vision, Vector Databases.

### Choose latent-jailbreak if…

- latent-jailbreak is primarily Python; AI-For-Beginners is Jupyter Notebook.
- Tags unique to latent-jailbreak: python.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability, LLM Frameworks.

## When NOT to use AI-For-Beginners

- 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.

## When NOT to use latent-jailbreak

- Last GitHub push was 782 days ago (dormant maintenance, May 21, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on latent-jailbreak.
- 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.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
