## When NOT to use alan-sdk-ionic

- Last GitHub push was 445 days ago (dormant maintenance, Apr 22, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on alan-sdk-ionic.
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
