## Choose when

### Choose MegEngine if…

- MegEngine is primarily C++; ai-engineering-from-scratch is Python.
- License: MegEngine is Apache-2.0, ai-engineering-from-scratch is MIT.
- Tags unique to MegEngine: autograd, gpu, numpy, python.
- - 当您需要在Linux、Windows（WSL或直接）、MacOS（仅限CPU）和Android设备（仅限CPU）上使用Python进行深度学习项目时

### Choose ai-engineering-from-scratch if…

- ai-engineering-from-scratch is primarily Python; MegEngine is C++.
- License: ai-engineering-from-scratch is MIT, MegEngine is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to ai-engineering-from-scratch: agents, ai-engineering, computer-vision, from-scratch.
- Also covers AI Agents, Computer Vision, Developer Tools.
- when you need a structured course that covers a wide range of AI engineering topics from scratch, including foundational math, deep learning, and reinforcement learning.

## When NOT to use MegEngine

- - Python3.63.9，，MegEnginePython

## When NOT to use ai-engineering-from-scratch

- if you are looking for a tool that focuses solely on theoretical knowledge without practical application, as this course emphasizes hands-on learning.
- when you do not have access to Node.js or Python, as these are required for running the course and its interactive components.
- if you prefer a more traditional learning approach without the use of terminal-based learning tools, as the course is designed for interactive terminal sessions.
- when you are working with a development environment that does not support skill-capable hosts, as the course is optimized for such environments.
