## When NOT to use llm-axe

- Last GitHub push was 555 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jan 5, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on llm-axe.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- 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.
