## Choose when

### Choose mcp-for-blender if…

- Tags unique to mcp-for-blender: 3d-modeling, ai, blender, blender-addon.
- mcp-for-blender ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you need to integrate AI-driven commands into Blender 3D for automating or enhancing 3D modeling tasks.

### Choose AI-Infra-from-Zero-to-Hero if…

- Tags unique to AI-Infra-from-Zero-to-Hero: ai-infra, genai, large-language-models, llmsys.
- Also covers Inference & Serving, Model Training.
- When you are aiming to understand the foundational research papers, industry practices, video tutorials specific to ML systems and LLM infrastructures without requiring implementation details.

## When NOT to use mcp-for-blender

- If your workflow does not require AI-driven commands for Blender 3D, or if you prefer manual control over the 3D modeling process.
- When your machine is running Linux and you need to manually configure the Docker setup to connect to the host machine's Blender instance, as the default setup does not work out of the box.
- If you are working in an environment where Python or pipx are not available or cannot be used due to security or policy restrictions.
- When you do not have Docker installed or do not wish to use containerization for running the MCP server.

## When NOT to use AI-Infra-from-Zero-to-Hero

- If you need step-by-step implementations for AI infrastructure setup as the repository focuses on resources rather than detailed technical instructions.
- Avoid if seeking guidance specifically for real-time system deployment and tuning, since it does not cover operational tactics in depth.
