## Choose when

### Choose harmonia if…

- harmonia is primarily Go; Awesome-Diffusion-Models is HTML.
- License: harmonia is MPL-2.0, Awesome-Diffusion-Models is MIT.
- Tags unique to harmonia: differential privacy, federated-learning, gitops.
- When needing frameworks that incorporate differential privacy directly into federated learning processes

### Choose Awesome-Diffusion-Models if…

- Awesome-Diffusion-Models is primarily HTML; harmonia is Go.
- License: Awesome-Diffusion-Models is MIT, harmonia is MPL-2.0.
- Tags unique to Awesome-Diffusion-Models: diffusion-models, generative-model, machine-learning, score-based.
- Need a comprehensive overview of Diffusion Model-related research across vision, audio, NLP, and more

## When NOT to use harmonia

- If GitOps-inspired workflows are not aligned with your team's operational practices
- In scenarios where the use of Go is less preferred among development teams

## When NOT to use Awesome-Diffusion-Models

- If you require highly specialized or application-specific tools rather than resources。
- That demand interactive workshops or real-time tutorials instead of static resource listings
