Choose moby if…
- moby is primarily Go; codecompanion.nvim is Lua.
- Tags unique to moby: containers, docker, go, golang.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
When NOT to use moby
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- 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 codecompanion.nvim if…
- codecompanion.nvim is primarily Lua; moby is Go.
- Tags unique to codecompanion.nvim: acp, agent, agent-client-protocol, anthropic.
- Also covers AI Agents.
When NOT to use codecompanion.nvim
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- 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.
