## Choose when

### Choose infinity if…

- License: infinity is MIT, awesome-generative-ai is CC0-1.0.
- Tags unique to infinity: clap, clip, colpali, docker-container.
- When you need to serve embeddings and various models with high throughput and low latency.

### Choose awesome-generative-ai if…

- License: awesome-generative-ai is CC0-1.0, infinity is MIT.
- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM.
- Tags unique to awesome-generative-ai: ai, artificial-intelligence, awesome-list, generative-ai.
- Also covers Developer Tools, LLM Frameworks.
- - When seeking **offline and comprehensive local deployment options** for large language models that require no internet access

## When NOT to use infinity

- Avoid using Infinity if your setup does not require GPU acceleration since its specialized Docker images may introduce unnecessary complexity.
- Do not use Infinity if you are working with models that are not supported by it (such as specific NLP models outside of embeddings and reranking).

## When NOT to use awesome-generative-ai
