[aikit](https://kaito-project.github.io/aikit/) reports 537 GitHub stars, 57 forks, and 40 open issues, last pushed Aug 24, 2026. [sagify](https://kenza-ai.github.io/sagify/) has 442 stars, 68 forks, and 18 open issues, last pushed Feb 11, 2026. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [aikit's repository](https://github.com/kaito-project/aikit) and [sagify's repository](https://github.com/Kenza-AI/sagify). | | [aikit](/tools/kaito-project-aikit.md) | [sagify](/tools/kenza-ai-sagify.md) | | --- | --- | --- | | Tagline | Fine-tune, build, and deploy open-source LLMs easily! | LLMs and Machine Learning done easily | | Stars | 537 | 442 | | Forks | 57 | 68 | | Open issues | 40 | 18 | | Language | Go | Python | | Adopt for | Aikit is a toolkit designed for fine-tuning, building and deploying large language models (LLMs) with an emphasis on open-source technologies. | An accessible tool for managing large language models and other machine learning tasks in Python. | | Persona | - | - | | Runtime | - | - | | License | MIT | Offered under the MIT license, allowing broad use for both commercial and non-commercial purposes with few restrictions. | | Categories | Inference & Serving, LLM Frameworks, Model Training | Inference & Serving, LLM Frameworks, Model Training | ## Trust and health _Sourced signals - not a safety guarantee.
