When NOT to use repochat
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If the hardware acceleration setup is too complex or not supported by your system, as Repochat's setup involves configuring environment variables and possibly installing BLAS backends.
- In environments where continuous network access to Hugging Face model hub and GitHub repositories is restricted or unreliable, given that this tool relies on these services for operation.
