Choose ai-serving if…
- ai-serving is primarily Scala; aikit is Go.
- License: ai-serving is Apache-2.0, aikit is MIT.
- Tags unique to ai-serving: ai-serving, grpc, inference-server, onnx.
- When you need to serve models in both PMML and ONNX formats without manual configuration changes between formats.
When NOT to use ai-serving
- Avoid if your team lacks familiarity or willingness to use Scala for deployment through sbt build system for customization needs.
- Not suitable when only one model format, either PMML or ONNX but not both, is needed and a simpler solution would suffice.
- If your project strictly requires a non-Dockerized setup that does not align with using pre-built Docker images.
Choose aikit if…
- aikit is primarily Go; ai-serving is Scala.
- License: aikit is MIT, ai-serving is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to aikit: ai, buildkit, chatgpt, docker.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks, Model Training.
- aikit ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- - You need a flexible solution specifically built using Go and prefer its concurrency model.
When NOT to use aikit
- - You have a preference or requirement for Python-based tools due to the lack of native support in Aikit.
- - If your deployment setup strictly uses cloud-specific platforms and you do not use Kubernetes or Docker, as Aikit heavily integrates with containerized environments like these.
