Validate activity before betting a new project on ML-news-of-the-week. - AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism. - Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between anything-llm and ML-news-of-the-week? anything-llm: Self-hosted agent experience with deployment scripts for multiple environments.
