Choose moby if…
- moby is primarily Go; qa_metrics is Python.
- License: moby is Apache-2.0, qa_metrics 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 qa_metrics if…
- qa_metrics is primarily Python; moby is Go.
- License: qa_metrics is MIT, moby is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to qa_metrics: exact-matching, llm, llm-evaluation, llm-evaluation-framework.
- Also covers Model Training.
When NOT to use qa_metrics
- Last GitHub push was 361 days ago (slowing maintenance, Jul 18, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on qa_metrics.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
