## When NOT to use in-context-ralm

- in-context-ralm is archived on GitHub. Prefer an active alternative unless you maintain a private fork or need a frozen dependency.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
