Validate activity before betting a new project on MockingBird. - Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic. - Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge. ## When NOT to use mindspore - Avoid if only NVIDIA GPUs without CUDA 10.1 support are available - Not ideal for users requiring non-LINUX (excluding Windows) environments beyond specified Ubuntu/CentOS/x86 versions - If development primarily targets hardware not covered by MindSpore's Ascend, CUDA, or CPU setups ## Common questions ### What is the difference between MockingBird and mindspore?
