Choose moby if…
- moby is primarily Go; just-eval is Python.
- License: moby is Apache-2.0, just-eval is MIT.
- Tags unique to moby: containers, docker, go, golang.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- moby ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
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 just-eval if…
- just-eval is primarily Python; moby is Go.
- License: just-eval is MIT, moby is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to just-eval: evaluation, gpt4, llm, llm-eval.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
When NOT to use just-eval
- Last GitHub push was 897 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jan 29, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on just-eval.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- 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.
