## Choose when

### Choose Model-Fingerprint if…

- License: Model-Fingerprint is MIT, deepeval is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to Model-Fingerprint: fingerprinting, large language models, pytorch.
- Use Model-Fingerprint when you need to fingerprint large language models for evaluation or observability purposes, especially in research contexts involving CUDA 11.3 and PyTorch 2.0 environments.

### Choose deepeval if…

- License: deepeval is Apache-2.0, Model-Fingerprint is MIT.
- Requirements: Requires Python environment and familiarity with large language models to effectively utilize Deepeval's capabilities..
- Tags unique to deepeval: evaluation, llm-evaluation, metrics.
- When developing large language models and you need a comprehensive evaluation framework to measure their performance across various metrics.

## When NOT to use Model-Fingerprint

- Do not use Model-Fingerprint if your development environment does not support CUDA 11.3 and PyTorch 2.0, as it may lead to incompatibility issues.
- Avoid this toolset if you need a solution that supports multiple versions of CUDA or Pytorch for flexibility across different hardware configurations without modification.

## When NOT to use deepeval

- For small-scale applications that do not require the depth of metrics and evaluations offered by Deepeval, as it might be overkill.
- In situations where there is a need for real-time performance monitoring, since Deepeval focuses more on post-development evaluation rather than continuous runtime analysis.
