## Choose when

### Choose disco-diffusion if…

- License: disco-diffusion is Other, free-ai-resources-x is MIT.
- Tags unique to disco-diffusion: 3d animation mode, ai art, animations, colab-convert.
- When you need a tool that supports both image and video generation with advanced features like 3D animation and keyframing

### Choose free-ai-resources-x if…

- License: free-ai-resources-x is MIT, disco-diffusion is Other.
- Tags unique to free-ai-resources-x: ai-agents, ai-tools, computer-vision, data-science.
- Also covers Computer Vision, LLM Frameworks.
- - You require access to various free frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow for machine learning model development

## When NOT to use disco-diffusion

- When you require a stable and unchanging tool, as Disco Diffusion is frequently updated and may introduce breaking changes
- If you need a tool that supports specific models like SLIP models, as they have been removed in recent updates due to import conflicts
- For users who prefer a simpler setup, as Disco Diffusion involves a conversion tool for.py to.ipynb files, which may complicate the development process

## When NOT to use free-ai-resources-x

- - You seek proprietary tools or prefer paid subscriptions with more comprehensive support offerings
- - Your application demands specialized hardware not covered by the general categories presented here
