## Choose when

### Choose pruna if…

- License: pruna is Apache-2.0, GPT-SoVITS is MIT.
- Tags unique to pruna: ai, computer-vision, deep-learning, diffusers.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.

### Choose GPT-SoVITS if…

- License: GPT-SoVITS is MIT, pruna is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to GPT-SoVITS: python, text-to-speech, tts, vits.
- Also covers Computer Vision.
- GPT-SoVITS ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.

## When NOT to use pruna

- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.

## When NOT to use GPT-SoVITS
