## Choose when

### Choose TTS if…

- License: TTS is MPL-2.0, Awesome-AutoDL is MIT.
- Tags unique to TTS: glow-tts, hifigan, melgan, multi-speaker-tts.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- TTS ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.

### Choose Awesome-AutoDL if…

- License: Awesome-AutoDL is MIT, TTS is MPL-2.0.
- Tags unique to Awesome-AutoDL: autodl, automl, awesome, hyper-parameter-optimization.
- Also covers Vector Databases.

## When NOT to use TTS

- Last GitHub push was 694 days ago (dormant maintenance, Aug 16, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on TTS.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.

## When NOT to use Awesome-AutoDL

- Last GitHub push was 1385 days ago (dormant maintenance, Sep 26, 2022). Validate activity before betting a new project on Awesome-AutoDL.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
