Shared compatibility

  • Python · Hypernets: Python runtime · pytorch-lightning: Python runtime

Choose Hypernets if…

  • Tags unique to Hypernets: automl, evolutionary-algorithms, enas, mcts.
  • Also covers Vector Databases.
  • Leaner open-issue backlog (0).

When NOT to use Hypernets

  • 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.
