## Choose when

### Choose openpi if…

- openpi is primarily Python; Awesome-LLMOps is Shell.
- License: openpi is Apache-2.0, Awesome-LLMOps is CC0-1.0.
- Requirements: The repository requires an NVIDIA GPU with at least 8 GB of memory for inference, 22.5 GB for fine-tuning with LoRA, and 70 GB for full fine-tuning..
- Tags unique to openpi: fine-tuning, gpu, inference, lora.
- Use openpi when you need to run AI models with precise GPU memory requirements for inference and fine-tuning, particularly with LoRA and full fine-tuning modes.

### Choose Awesome-LLMOps if…

- Awesome-LLMOps is primarily Shell; openpi is Python.
- License: Awesome-LLMOps is CC0-1.0, openpi is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to Awesome-LLMOps: ai development tools, awesome-list, llmops, mlops.
- Also covers Computer Vision, Data & Retrieval, Evaluation & Observability, LLM Frameworks, Speech & Audio.
- - When you need a comprehensive directory of tools specifically focused on LLM development, training, fine-tuning, and management.

## When NOT to use openpi

- Avoid using openpi if your project requires multi-node training, as the current training script does not support this feature.
- Do not use openpi if you are working on an operating system other than Ubuntu 22.04, as the repository has not been tested with other systems.

## When NOT to use Awesome-LLMOps

- - When you are looking for a hands-on platform or framework for developing and deploying models rather than just a resource list.
- - If your focus is on general artificial intelligence development that includes areas beyond LLMOps like image processing, robotics, or federated learning without the need for LLM-specific resources.
