## Choose when

### Choose krasis if…

- krasis is primarily C++; Awesome-LLM-Inference is Python.
- License: krasis is Other, Awesome-LLM-Inference is GPL-3.0.
- Tags unique to krasis: cpu-inference, gguf-model-support, gpu-inference, high-performance-inference.
- - When aiming for efficient operation of larger language models with limited VRAM, as Krasis optimizes memory utilization specifically to support this scenario.

### Choose Awesome-LLM-Inference if…

- Awesome-LLM-Inference is primarily Python; krasis is C++.
- License: Awesome-LLM-Inference is GPL-3.0, krasis is Other.
- Requirements: Requires Python for the use of included codes and to understand the methods described in the associated papers..
- Tags unique to Awesome-LLM-Inference: flash-attention, paged-attention, parallelism, wint8/4.
- Use Awesome-LLM-Inference when you are looking to optimize the performance of your large language model or vision-language model inference with cutting-edge techniques such as Flash-Attention.

## When NOT to use krasis

- - Avoid using Krasis if your hardware setup does not include both CPU and GPU capabilities, as its hybrid execution relies on utilizing both components for optimal performance.
- - If you prioritize running lightweight models with minimal memory footprint on low-end devices, Krasis might not be the ideal choice given it is optimized for larger-scale model inference.

## When NOT to use Awesome-LLM-Inference

- Do not use Awesome-LLM-Inference if your project strictly conforms to licenses different from GPL-3.0, as its licensing could be incompatible with your project's license requirements.
- Avoid using this tool for immediate production implementation of inference techniques without additional vetting since the repository itself may contain unvetted research papers and code snippets.
