## Choose when

### Choose AI-For-Beginners if…

- AI-For-Beginners is primarily Jupyter Notebook; GPT-SoVITS is Python.
- Tags unique to AI-For-Beginners: deep-learning, microsoft-for-beginners, ai, artificial-intelligence.
- Also covers Vector Databases.

### Choose GPT-SoVITS if…

- GPT-SoVITS is primarily Python; AI-For-Beginners is Jupyter Notebook.
- Tags unique to GPT-SoVITS: voice-cloning, voice-clone, voice-cloneai, text-to-speech.
- Also covers Speech & Audio.
- GPT-SoVITS ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.

## When NOT to use AI-For-Beginners

- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
- Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.

## When NOT to use GPT-SoVITS

- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
