## Choose when

### Choose Agent-Reach if…

- Agent-Reach is primarily Python; llama-hub is Jupyter Notebook.
- Tags unique to Agent-Reach: agent-infrastructure, ai-agent, ai-search, automation.
- Also covers AI Agents, Developer Tools.

### Choose llama-hub if…

- llama-hub is primarily Jupyter Notebook; Agent-Reach is Python.
- Tags unique to llama-hub: jupyter notebook.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval, Evaluation & Observability.

## When NOT to use Agent-Reach

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- 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.

## When NOT to use llama-hub

- llama-hub is archived on GitHub. Prefer an active alternative unless you maintain a private fork or need a frozen dependency.
- Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.
- 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.
