## Choose when

### Choose BMW-TensorFlow-Inference-API-CPU if…

- BMW-TensorFlow-Inference-API-CPU is primarily Python; onepanel is Go.
- Tags unique to BMW-TensorFlow-Inference-API-CPU: api, bounding-boxes, computer-vision, cpu.
- When you need a dedicated object detection model and have the infrastructure setup for Docker to run services on CPU.

### Choose onepanel if…

- onepanel is primarily Go; BMW-TensorFlow-Inference-API-CPU is Python.
- Tags unique to onepanel: aiops, annotation, deeplearning, hyperparameter-tuning.
- Also covers Model Training.
- onepanel ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you need an end-to-end platform that supports multiple aspects of computer vision including advanced functionalities such as hyperparameter tuning and automated workflows.

## When NOT to use BMW-TensorFlow-Inference-API-CPU

- Avoid if deep learning tasks require significant computation power that only a GPU can provide.
- Not suitable for projects looking to deploy on cloud services without Docker support, since this tool depends heavily on Docker setup details.

## When NOT to use onepanel

- Avoid using Onepanel for projects that require extensive Java-based development because it is written in Go.
- Not suitable if you seek a platform focusing solely on model serving or inference without capabilities to go back upstream into data labeling and preprocessing stages.
