## When NOT to use private-gpt

- - You prefer simplicity and ease-of-use over full control; PrivateGPT requires more setup than using direct cloud-based AI services.
- - Your project does not involve running models locally but strictly relies on public cloud resources for inference server operations.
- - You do not have the technical capability to run an OpenAI-compatible inference server or manage local infrastructure effectively.
