## When NOT to use Open-LLM-Leaderboard

- Last GitHub push was 748 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jun 27, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on Open-LLM-Leaderboard.
- Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
