## Choose when

### Choose metavoice-src if…

- License: metavoice-src is Apache-2.0, GPT-SoVITS is MIT.
- Tags unique to metavoice-src: deep-learning, ai, speech, pytorch.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (64).

### Choose GPT-SoVITS if…

- License: GPT-SoVITS is MIT, metavoice-src is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to GPT-SoVITS: voice-cloning, voice-cloneai, python, vits.
- Also covers Computer Vision.

## When NOT to use metavoice-src

- Last GitHub push was 711 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jul 30, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on metavoice-src.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
