Choose gateway if…
- Tags unique to gateway: ai, aistudio, api, gateway.
- Also covers Computer Vision.
- gateway ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
When NOT to use gateway
- Last GitHub push was 825 days ago (dormant maintenance, Apr 8, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on gateway.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
Choose llm-course if…
- Requirements: Course materials are available in Colab notebooks; access requires a Google account.
- Tags unique to llm-course: colab-notebooks, course, machine-learning, roadmap.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability, Model Training.
- - When you want a comprehensive roadmap for understanding large language models including fundamental knowledge
When NOT to use llm-course
- - If you only require a quick introduction to LLMs without deep dive into core components
- - When you prefer working directly with commercial platforms that provide complete services rather than following detailed steps on building and deploying models yourself through this course's open,DI
