When NOT to use py-gpt
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Your environment lacks consistent internet connectivity since PyGPT relies on it for API connections with some of its models like GPT-5, GPT-4.
- The project requires a proprietary model that is not supported or easily integrated without significant development efforts into PyGPT's framework.
- You cannot obtain an OpenAI API key, which is needed to utilize certain language models like Claude and Gemini included in the tool.
