## Choose when

### Choose geti_v2 if…

- geti_v2 is primarily TypeScript; claude-mem is JavaScript.
- License: geti_v2 is Other, claude-mem is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to geti_v2: deep-learning, fine-tuning, openvino, typescript.
- Also covers Computer Vision.

### Choose claude-mem if…

- claude-mem is primarily JavaScript; geti_v2 is TypeScript.
- License: claude-mem is Apache-2.0, geti_v2 is Other.
- Requirements: Requires Node.js v20.0.0 or higher.; Must have the latest version of Claude Code with plugin support.; Auto-installs Bun (JavaScript runtime and process manager) if not already present.; Requires uv (Python package for vector search), auto-installation supported..
- Tags unique to claude-mem: chromadb, ai-memory, claude, long-term-memory.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- When you require seamless and persistent context continuity between different session interactions with Claude Code or other supported agents.

## When NOT to use geti_v2

- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.

## When NOT to use claude-mem

- When working in environments where Node.js v20.0.0 or higher cannot be installed, as claude-mem requires this version to operate.
- If your specific AI agent or tool does not integrate with the supported frameworks listed (e.g., Claude Code, OpenClaw), making context persistence ineffective for your workflow.
