When NOT to use bark

  • Last GitHub push was 692 days ago (dormant maintenance, Aug 19, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on bark.
  • Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
  • LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
  • Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
