It includes the AutoGen Studio for no-code GUI setup, integrating with various models. ## Choose when ### Choose autogen if… - License: autogen is CC-BY-4.0, raga-llm-hub is Other. - Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; AutoGen requires Python 3.10 or later.; Ensure security when connecting to MCP servers due to the potential for local command execution and sensitive information exposure.. - Tags unique to autogen: llm-framework, autogen, agents, ai. - Also covers AI Agents. - You need a framework that supports integration with multiple AI models via OpenAI's chat completion client. ### Choose raga-llm-hub if… - License: raga-llm-hub is Other, autogen is CC-BY-4.0. - Tags unique to raga-llm-hub: llmops, python, guardrails, llm-security. - Also covers Evaluation & Observability. ## When NOT to use autogen - If you require tools supporting multiple programming languages beyond Python, as AutoGen is strictly a Python-based framework. - When deploying in environments where connecting to external servers (like those used by MCP) could pose security risks or is prohibited. - You need solutions which do not involve additional installations for server components such as `playwright/mcp`, as AutoGen requires this setup for certain functionalities. ## When NOT to use raga-llm-hub - Last GitHub push was 670 days ago (dormant maintenance, Sep 9, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on raga-llm-hub. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. - Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between autogen and raga-llm-hub? autogen: A programming framework for agentic AI. raga-llm-hub: Framework for LLM evaluation, guardrails and security.
