## Choose when

### Choose awesome if…

- License: awesome is CC0-1.0, AI-Infra-Guard is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to awesome: awesome-list, resources.
- More GitHub stars (484k vs 4.1k) - visibility, not fit.

### Choose AI-Infra-Guard if…

- License: AI-Infra-Guard is Apache-2.0, awesome is CC0-1.0.
- Tags unique to AI-Infra-Guard: agent, agent-security, ai-infra, ai-red-teaming.
- Also covers AI Agents, Vector Databases.

## When NOT to use awesome

- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.

## When NOT to use AI-Infra-Guard

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