[autoai](https://github.com/blobcity/autoai) reports 186 GitHub stars, 46 forks, and 9 open issues, last pushed Mar 25, 2025. [vega](http://www.noahlab.com.hk/opensource/vega/) has 849 stars, 177 forks, and 53 open issues, last pushed Feb 15, 2023. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [autoai's repository](https://github.com/blobcity/autoai) and [vega's repository](https://github.com/huawei-noah/vega). | | [autoai](/tools/blobcity-autoai.md) | [vega](/tools/huawei-noah-vega.md) | | --- | --- | --- | | Tagline | Python based framework for Automatic AI enabling model search, hyper-parameter tuning and Jupyter Notebook code generation | AutoML tools chain | | Stars | 186 | 849 | | Forks | 46 | 177 | | Open issues | 9 | 53 | | Language | Python | Python | | Adopt for | Python based framework for automated machine learning focused on numerical data, providing model search, hyper-parameter tuning, and Jupyter Notebook code generation. | Vega is an AutoML toolchain from Huawei Noah's Ark Lab that streamlines model building and selection with Python. | | Persona | - | - | | Runtime | - | - | | License | Apache-2.0 | Other | | Categories | Model Training | Model Training | ## Trust and health _Sourced signals - not a safety guarantee.
