Choose ailia-models if…
- Tags unique to ailia-models: action-recognition, anomaly-detection, audio-processing, background-removal.
- Also covers Speech & Audio.
- When developing apps that integrate with the ailia SDK
When NOT to use ailia-models
- If your project does not align with ailia SDK or its specific model categories
- When you require customization beyond what is offered by pre-trained models in this repository
Choose lightly-train if…
- Requirements: Min 8 GB RAM.
- Tags unique to lightly-train: computer-vision, contrastive-learning, depth-estimation, dinov2.
- Lightly-train is a Python-based framework focused on training vision models including YOLO, ViTs, RT-DETR, and DINOv3, offering comprehensive features like pretraining, fine-tuning, and distillation.
When NOT to use lightly-train
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
