## Choose when

### Choose deepteam if…

- License: deepteam is Apache-2.0, awesome-production-machine-learning is MIT.
- Pricing: Free to use and modify under the terms of its Apache 2.0 license, encouraging community contribution and adaptation.
- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; Requires a Python environment.; No Docker required for operation..
- Tags unique to deepteam: apache 2.0, llm-guardrails, llm-red-teaming, llm-safety.
- When you need a framework specifically designed for red-teaming large language models and AI agents under the Apache-2.0 license.

### Choose awesome-production-machine-learning if…

- License: awesome-production-machine-learning is MIT, deepteam is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to awesome-production-machine-learning: inference-serving, machine-learning-operations, ml-ops, model-deployment.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval, Inference & Serving.
- If you need a diverse set of open-source tools for end-to-end production machine learning tasks

## When NOT to use deepteam
