## Choose when

### Choose AILearners if…

- AILearners is primarily Python; AirSim is C++.
- License: AILearners is Apache-2.0, AirSim is Other.
- Tags unique to AILearners: cs231n, cv, deep-learning, dl.

### Choose AirSim if…

- AirSim is primarily C++; AILearners is Python.
- License: AirSim is Other, AILearners is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to AirSim: airsim, artificial-intelligence, autonomous-quadcoptor, autonomous-vehicles.
- Also covers AI Agents.

## 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 AirSim

- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
