Read GuideFive Criteria for Evaluating an AI Tool
1. Hardware Efficiency: Check minimum VRAM requirements and quantization degradation thresholds.
2. Zero-Telemetry Privacy: Ensure prompts and source code remain within your local execution boundary.
3. OpenAI-API Compatibility: Favor runtimes that allow drop-in swapping without changing client SDK code.
4. Active Maintenance: Review recent commit velocity, issue response times, and model family support.
5. Commercial Licensing: Confirm permissive Apache-2.0 or MIT licensing for production deployment.
