## When NOT to use knowledge-gpt

- Last GitHub push was 1174 days ago (dormant maintenance, Apr 25, 2023). Validate activity before betting a new project on knowledge-gpt.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
- Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
