## When NOT to use SwiftInfer

- Last GitHub push was 915 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jan 8, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on SwiftInfer.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
