When NOT to use ray-llm
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Do not use the archived Ray-LLM repository for active development or deployment, as it is no longer maintained and its functionalities have been integrated into the Ray framework.
- If you require the latest features and support for deploying large language models, avoid the archived repository and use the ray.serve.llm and ray.data.llm APIs directly.
