## Choose when

### Choose oasis if…

- License: oasis is Apache-2.0, MetaGPT is MIT.
- Pricing: The project is open-source and freely available for download and use; however, there might be associated costs with cloud services or API calls if utilized..
- Requirements: Min 16 GB RAM.
- Graph edge: oasis is a typed related of MetaGPT - see the relationship row above.
- Tags unique to oasis: deep-learning, ai-societies, large-language-models, natural-language-processing.
- You need scalable simulations involving up to a million users to study information spread in large-scale networks.

### Choose MetaGPT if…

- License: MetaGPT is MIT, oasis is Apache-2.0.
- Requirements: Requires Docker; Support for Python 3.9 to less than 3.12; Requires installation of node and pnpm before actual use.
- Graph edge: MetaGPT is a typed related of oasis - see the relationship row above.
- Tags unique to MetaGPT: multi-agent, llm, metagpt, gpt.
- MetaGPT ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- MetaGPT is a multi-agent framework utilizing GPT models to simulate an AI software company for handling complex tasks through collaboration and natural language programming. It provides roles akin to real-world positions

## When NOT to use oasis

- Your project requires simulation of fewer than 1,000 agents because OASIS is optimized for large-scale simulations with up to one million agents.
- If your focus is on platforms that do not resemble Twitter or Reddit in terms of user interaction patterns, as OASIS's environments are specifically adapted for these types of social dynamics.

## When NOT to use MetaGPT

- When seeking simpler tools for basic task automation without the need for a multi-agent framework
- If you are looking for real-time human interaction or non-GPT based models, as MetaGPT is specifically built around GPT-based agents
