## Choose when

### Choose onepanel if…

- onepanel is primarily Go; bark is Jupyter Notebook.
- License: onepanel is Apache-2.0, bark is MIT.
- Tags unique to onepanel: ai, aiops, annotation, computer-vision.
- Also covers Vector Databases.
- onepanel ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.

### Choose bark if…

- bark is primarily Jupyter Notebook; onepanel is Go.
- License: bark is MIT, onepanel is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to bark: jupyter notebook.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.

## When NOT to use onepanel

- Last GitHub push was 1233 days ago (dormant maintenance, Feb 25, 2023). Validate activity before betting a new project on onepanel.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.

## When NOT to use bark

- Last GitHub push was 692 days ago (dormant maintenance, Aug 19, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on bark.
- 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.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
