## Choose when

### Choose Awesome-AutoDL if…

- Tags unique to Awesome-AutoDL: autodl, automl, awesome, deep-learning.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- Use this resource when you require an exhaustive compilation of AutoDL tools that include Hyper-parameter Optimization (HPO) and Neural Architecture Search (NAS).

### Choose nas-env if…

- Tags unique to nas-env: openai-gym, python, reinforcement-learning.
- When you need to implement NAS algorithms using reinforcement learning with compatibility to OpenAI Gym
- Leaner open-issue backlog (0).

## When NOT to use Awesome-AutoDL

- Avoid using Awesome-AutoDL if you are looking for hands-on code implementation examples or tutorials specific to each tool mentioned.
- Do not rely on this repository alone for practical use cases in AutoDL without further investigation into the individual libraries listed, as it primarily serves as a reference guide.

## When NOT to use nas-env

- If you require a fully documented package as documentation for nas-env remains under development
- During production phases when stability is crucial because nas-env is still undergoing architectural changes
