## Choose when

### Choose artificio if…

- artificio is primarily Python; DeepLearningExamples is Jupyter Notebook.
- Requirements: Ensure Python environment and relevant dependencies are set up for effective use of Artificio's deep learning algorithms..
- Tags unique to artificio: ai, convolutional-neural-networks, data-science, image-classification.
- Use Artificio when you need robust solutions specifically designed around image retrieval through advanced methods such as transfer learning and autoencoders.

### Choose DeepLearningExamples if…

- DeepLearningExamples is primarily Jupyter Notebook; artificio is Python.
- Requirements: Requires NVIDIA GPUs for optimal performance.; Uses NVIDIA's CUDA-X software stack, including libraries like cuDNN, NCCL, and cuBLAS..
- Tags unique to DeepLearningExamples: drug-discovery, forecasting, large-language-models, mxnet.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- When you need deep learning scripts optimized for NVIDIA GPUs, including Volta, Turing, and Ampere architectures, for tasks like computer vision, NLP, and speech recognition.

## When NOT to use artificio

- Avoid Artificio if your application demands heavy customization in areas outside image retrieval and processing, as it is more specialized than general computer vision libraries.
