Choose moby if…
- moby is primarily Go; modelfusion is TypeScript.
- License: moby is Apache-2.0, modelfusion is MIT.
- Tags unique to moby: go, docker, golang, containers.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- moby ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
When NOT to use moby
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- 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.
Choose modelfusion if…
- modelfusion is primarily TypeScript; moby is Go.
- License: modelfusion is MIT, moby is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to modelfusion: gpt-3, dall-e, ai, artificial-intelligence.
- Also covers Vector Databases.
When NOT to use modelfusion
- modelfusion is archived on GitHub. Prefer an active alternative unless you maintain a private fork or need a frozen dependency.
- 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.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
