Shared compatibility

  • Python · infinity: Python runtime · server: Python runtime

Choose infinity if…

  • License: infinity is MIT, server is BSD-3-Clause.
  • Tags unique to infinity: bert-embeddings, cpu, docker, llm.
  • Use Infinity when you need to serve text-embeddings and reranking models with high throughput and low latency, especially when you have access to hardware accelerators like GPUs or ROCm.

When NOT to use infinity

  • Avoid using Infinity if you do not have access to hardware accelerators and prefer a lightweight solution, as the specialized Docker images for ROCm and ONNX-GPU are not built via CI/CD and may not be
  • Do not use Infinity if you need a serving engine that is frequently updated via CI/CD, as some specialized Docker images are not automatically built and may require manual version pinning.

Choose server if…

  • License: server is BSD-3-Clause, infinity is MIT.
  • Tags unique to server: cloud, datacenter, deep-learning, edge.
  • Use Triton Inference Server when you need to deploy AI models across multiple frameworks such as TensorRT, PyTorch, ONNX, and OpenVINO.

When NOT to use server

  • Avoid Triton Inference Server if your project is not compatible with the NVIDIA AI Enterprise ecosystem and you do not require support for NVIDIA GPUs.
  • Do not use Triton Inference Server if your deployment environment does not support the frameworks it is optimized for, such as TensorRT, PyTorch, ONNX, and OpenVINO.
  • If your application does not require dynamic batching or sequence batching, Triton Inference Server might not be the best choice.
  • If you are looking for a solution that does not integrate with the KServe protocol for HTTP/REST and GRPC inference, Triton Inference Server may not be suitable.
