Choose llm-app if…
- llm-app is primarily Jupyter Notebook; rag-fusion is Python.
- Requirements: Requires Docker; The tool is Docker-friendly and designed to ensure synchronization with cloud-based storage solutions among others..
- Tags unique to llm-app: chatbot, hugging-face, llm, vector-database.
- - You need a ready-to-run solution that directly integrates with various data sources like Sharepoint, Google Drive, S3, Kafka, PostgreSQL, and live APIs.
When NOT to use llm-app
- - You require custom deployment configurations that extend beyond the pre-set cloud templates available through llm-app.
- - There’s a need for tightly integrated support with data sources or APIs not explicitly mentioned, such as specialized CRM systems (Salesforce), which may lack direct template support in llm-app.
Choose rag-fusion if…
- rag-fusion is primarily Python; llm-app is Jupyter Notebook.
- Tags unique to rag-fusion: chromadb, information-retrieval, openai, python.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (0).
When NOT to use rag-fusion
- Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
