## Choose when

### Choose BMW-YOLOv4-Inference-API-GPU if…

- BMW-YOLOv4-Inference-API-GPU is primarily Python; geti_v2 is TypeScript.
- License: BMW-YOLOv4-Inference-API-GPU is BSD-3-Clause, geti_v2 is Other.
- Tags unique to BMW-YOLOv4-Inference-API-GPU: darknet, docker-container, gpu-support, inference-api.
- When you need to deploy a no-code object detection API leveraging both YOLOv3 and YOLOv4 frameworks, and require high-performance inference with GPU support through Docker containerization.

### Choose geti_v2 if…

- geti_v2 is primarily TypeScript; BMW-YOLOv4-Inference-API-GPU is Python.
- License: geti_v2 is Other, BMW-YOLOv4-Inference-API-GPU is BSD-3-Clause.
- Pricing: Pricing information is not provided..
- Requirements: Min 0 GB RAM.
- Tags unique to geti_v2: computer-vision, deep-learning, fine-tuning, inference.
- Also covers Model Training.
- When you have a shortage of labeled data but still require high accuracy in your computer vision model.

## When NOT to use BMW-YOLOv4-Inference-API-GPU

- Avoid using BMW-YOLOv4-Inference-API-GPU if you need to perform inference without a GPU setup since it specifically leverages NVIDIA GPU drivers and does not provide native support for other hardware.
- Do not use this tool when needing multi-platform deployment out of the box, as the no-code interface and documentation focus primarily on Linux systems with Docker.

## When NOT to use geti_v2

- When you need to work with languages other than TypeScript, as geti_v2 is specifically designed for use with TypeScript environments.
- In scenarios where you have abundant labeled data and can afford longer training times, which may not leverage the key advantage of geti_v2's efficiency in low-data conditions.
