## When NOT to use LangChain.js-LLM-Template

- If you require a platform that supports multiple languages beyond JavaScript for flexibility.
- In cases where complex preprocessing of train data cannot be easily managed through markdown files.
- When dealing with very sensitive data and needing to keep API key management out-of-band, as the README suggests using environment variables.
