## Choose when

### Choose AI-Infra-from-Zero-to-Hero if…

- Tags unique to AI-Infra-from-Zero-to-Hero: ai-infra, genai, llmsys, mlsys.
- Also covers Developer Tools, LLM Frameworks.
- When you are aiming to understand the foundational research papers, industry practices, video tutorials specific to ML systems and LLM infrastructures without requiring implementation details.

### Choose DeepLearningExamples if…

- Tags unique to DeepLearningExamples: computer-vision, deep-learning, drug-discovery, forecasting.
- The NVIDIA GPU Cloud (NGC) Container Registry that integrates with this tool offers the latest updates every month along with rigorous quality assurance.
- More GitHub stars (15k vs 4.3k) - visibility, not fit.

## When NOT to use AI-Infra-from-Zero-to-Hero

- If you need step-by-step implementations for AI infrastructure setup as the repository focuses on resources rather than detailed technical instructions.
- Avoid if seeking guidance specifically for real-time system deployment and tuning, since it does not cover operational tactics in depth.

## When NOT to use DeepLearningExamples

- Avoid using DeepLearningExamples if you do not have access to NVIDIA GPUs, as it is heavily optimized for these specific hardware configurations to provide maximum utilization of Tensor Cores.
- If your project requires frameworks that are less common (e.g., MXNet or PaddlePaddle) without the same level of support as PyTorch and TensorFlow on this platform, consider other repositories that n
