## Choose when

### Choose ai-engineering-hub if…

- Requirements: The tutorials and projects use Jupyter Notebooks which require Python and a compatible local environment or cloud-based Jupyter services..
- Tags unique to ai-engineering-hub: agents, ai, llms, machine-learning.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- When you are looking for comprehensive learning paths ranging from complete beginners to advanced experts.

### Choose prompt-patterns if…

- Requirements: The repository does not specify system requirements.; Details about compatible AI models, frameworks, and the expected environment setup remain unspecified in the provided information..
- Tags unique to prompt-patterns: chatgpt, github-copilot, prompt-engineering, stable-diffusion.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
- Use prompt-patterns for designing structured prompts to guide AI thinking in specific frameworks when working on projects that require maintaining a clear cognitive structure.

## When NOT to use ai-engineering-hub

- If your team already has significant proficiency in AI engineering and advanced LLM frameworks, as the content starts from zero knowledge up.
- When you specifically need industry-standard proprietary tools or heavily specialized niche applications that go beyond foundational learning covered by this hub.
- In scenarios where immediate advanced project results are required; ai-engineering-hub focuses on education through step-by-step tutorials rather than providing ready-made solutions with minimal setup

## When NOT to use prompt-patterns

- Avoid prompt-patterns for real-time applications or situations requiring dynamic, contextually adaptive prompts, as it might lack flexibility compared to more generalized frameworks.
- Do not use if your project's requirements revolve around innovative and unstructured AI interactions; this tool is best for structured environments.
