When NOT to use colab-llm
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If you require full customization beyond what is available in a Colab environment, since this solution relies heavily on Colab's pre-defined settings and limits.
- When dealing with sensitive data that cannot be transmitted through third-party tunnels due to the use of Cloudflare for secure access.
