It supports TypeScript and integrates with frameworks like OpenVINO; pick inference if inference by Roboflow specializes in deploying computer vision models on edge devices and industrial hardware like Flowbox based on NVIDIA Jetson. [geti_v2](https://docs.geti.intel.com/docs/2.0/user-guide/getting-started/introduction) reports 483 GitHub stars, 51 forks, and 87 open issues, last pushed Jul 30, 2026. [inference](https://inference.roboflow.com) has 2.5k stars, 319 forks, and 172 open issues, last pushed Sep 19, 2026. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [geti_v2's repository](https://github.com/open-edge-platform/geti_v2) and [inference's repository](https://github.com/roboflow/inference). | | [geti_v2](/tools/open-edge-platform-geti-v2.md) | [inference](/tools/roboflow-inference.md) | | --- | --- | --- | | Tagline | Build computer vision models quickly with less data | Turn any computer or edge device into a command center for your computer vision projects. | | Stars | 483 | 2,456 | | Forks | 51 | 319 | | Open issues | 87 | 172 | | Language | TypeScript | Python | | Adopt for | geti_v2 is designed for developers who need to build computer vision models quickly using limited datasets.
