When NOT to use LLPhant
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your project is not primarily based on PHP and would benefit more from direct integration with langchain in a supported language.
- Avoid if you require a framework that supports real-time embeddings without an intermediary AI, as LLPhant focuses heavily on OpenAI GPT-4.
