Shared compatibility

  • Python · torchtune: Python runtime · aeneas: Python runtime

Choose torchtune if…

  • License: torchtune is BSD-3-Clause, aeneas is AGPL-3.0.
  • Tags unique to torchtune: python.
  • Also covers LLM Frameworks, Model Training, Inference & Serving.

When NOT to use torchtune

  • LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
  • Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
  • Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
