When NOT to use hyv
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- - If your project is primarily using languages other than TypeScript, Hyv's benefits may not fully apply due to its TypeScript framework focus.
- - When the integration of proprietary or highly customized AI models not aligned with open-source LLMs like GPT-4 is required.
