## Choose when

### Choose CosyVoice if…

- CosyVoice is primarily Python; kurtosis is Go.
- Tags unique to CosyVoice: audio-generation, cantonese, chatbot, chatgpt.
- Also covers Model Training, Speech & Audio.
- When you need support for multiple languages like Cantonese, Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean.

### Choose kurtosis if…

- kurtosis is primarily Go; CosyVoice is Python.
- Tags unique to kurtosis: backend, cicd, containerization, deploy.
