## Choose when

### Choose Awesome-AutoDL if…

- Awesome-AutoDL is primarily Python; MOE is C++.
- License: Awesome-AutoDL is MIT, MOE is Other.
- 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 MOE if…

- MOE is primarily C++; Awesome-AutoDL is Python.
- License: MOE is Other, Awesome-AutoDL is MIT.
- Tags unique to MOE: c++, docker, rest server.
- MOE ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you require an optimization engine that operates as a global, isolated system through Docker containers.

## 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 MOE

- If your team lacks the knowledge or experience to configure and run Docker environments.
- Not suitable for projects where real-time interaction with optimization processes is needed, as MOE focuses on batch processing scenarios.
