## Choose when

### Choose AILearners if…

- License: AILearners is Apache-2.0, auto-sklearn is BSD-3-Clause.
- Tags unique to AILearners: deep-learning, jianzhioffer, ai, machine-learning.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (1).

### Choose auto-sklearn if…

- License: auto-sklearn is BSD-3-Clause, AILearners is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to auto-sklearn: automl, meta-learning, hyperparameter-search, hyperparameter-tuning.
- Also covers Model Training, Developer Tools.
- auto-sklearn ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.

## When NOT to use AILearners

- Last GitHub push was 2066 days ago (dormant maintenance, Nov 14, 2020). Validate activity before betting a new project on AILearners.

## When NOT to use auto-sklearn

- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.
