## Choose when

### Choose ai-engineering-from-scratch if…

- ai-engineering-from-scratch is primarily Python; tensorspace is JavaScript.
- License: ai-engineering-from-scratch is MIT, tensorspace is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to ai-engineering-from-scratch: agents, ai-engineering, computer-vision, from-scratch.
- Also covers AI Agents, Computer Vision, Model Training.
- when you need a structured course that covers a wide range of AI engineering topics from scratch, including foundational math, deep learning, and reinforcement learning.

### Choose tensorspace if…

- tensorspace is primarily JavaScript; ai-engineering-from-scratch is Python.
- License: tensorspace is Apache-2.0, ai-engineering-from-scratch is MIT.
- Tags unique to tensorspace: 3d, javascript, keras, neural-network.
- Project requires real-time visual insights into pre-trained deep learning models directly in web browsers.

## When NOT to use ai-engineering-from-scratch

- if you are looking for a tool that focuses solely on theoretical knowledge without practical application, as this course emphasizes hands-on learning.
- when you do not have access to Node.js or Python, as these are required for running the course and its interactive components.
- if you prefer a more traditional learning approach without the use of terminal-based learning tools, as the course is designed for interactive terminal sessions.
- when you are working with a development environment that does not support skill-capable hosts, as the course is optimized for such environments.

## When NOT to use tensorspace

- Team lacks expertise in JavaScript, as tensorspace primarily relies on this language for integration and execution.
- Project needs offline visualization capabilities since tensorspace operates exclusively within web browsers requiring internet access.
