## When NOT to use datatrove

- 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.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
