Shared compatibility
- Python · dynamo: Python runtime · sarathi-serve: Python runtime
Choose dynamo if…
- dynamo is primarily Rust; sarathi-serve is Python.
- License: dynamo is Other, sarathi-serve is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to dynamo: diffusion, disaggregated-serving, kubernetes, omni.
- When you are working with high-throughput, low-latency requirements using Kubernetes.
When NOT to use dynamo
- If your project is not compatible with Rust and you face limitations in leveraging the dynamo's full potential without a strong Rust support team on hand.
- In scenarios where fine-grained model management is less important than ease of use or when a more universally-supported language (like Python) is required.
Choose sarathi-serve if…
- sarathi-serve is primarily Python; dynamo is Rust.
- License: sarathi-serve is Apache-2.0, dynamo is Other.
- Tags unique to sarathi-serve: llama, pytorch, transformer.
- Optimize Python-based projects needing quick responses from large language models.
When NOT to use sarathi-serve
- Necessitate a non-Python environment for deployment and operation.
- Prefer a tool that incorporates more than just low-latency, high-throughput focus such as multi-language support or specialized optimizations.
