[AutoGPT](https://agpt.co) reports 185k GitHub stars, 46k forks, and 494 open issues, last pushed Jul 11, 2026. [speech_recognition](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SpeechRecognition/) has 9.0k stars, 2.4k forks, and 317 open issues, last pushed Jun 16, 2026. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [AutoGPT's repository](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT) and [speech_recognition's repository](https://github.com/Uberi/speech_recognition). | | [AutoGPT](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt.md) | [speech_recognition](/tools/uberi-speech-recognition.md) | | --- | --- | --- | | Tagline | AutoGPT is the vision of accessible AI for everyone, to use and to build on. | Speech recognition module for Python, supporting several engines and APIs, online and offline. | | Stars | 185,464 | 8,971 | | Forks | 46,111 | 2,417 | | Open issues | 494 | 317 | | Language | Python | Python | | Adopt for | AutoGPT is a Python-based tool for creating accessible autonomous AI agents that can leverage various LLM APIs including OpenAI's GPT and Anthropic's Claude. | - | | Persona | - | - | | Runtime | - | - | | License | Other | BSD-3-Clause | | Categories | LLM Frameworks, AI Agents | LLM Frameworks, Model Training, AI Agents | ## Trust and health _Sourced signals - not a safety guarantee.

AutoGPT: AutoGPT is the vision of accessible AI for everyone, to use and to build on.. speech_recognition: Speech recognition module for Python, supporting several engines and APIs, online and offline.. See the comparison table for live GitHub stats and shared categories. ### When should I choose AutoGPT over speech_recognition? Choose AutoGPT over speech_recognition when License: AutoGPT is Other, speech_recognition is BSD-3-Clause; Tags unique to AutoGPT: agents, llm, ai, artificial-intelligence; When you need to rapidly prototype or deploy an autonomous agent using existing language models without deep AI expertise. ### When should I choose speech_recognition over AutoGPT? Choose speech_recognition over AutoGPT when License: speech_recognition is BSD-3-Clause, AutoGPT is Other; Tags unique to speech_recognition: speech-to-text, python, audio, speech-recognition; Also covers Model Training. ### When should I avoid AutoGPT? Avoid if you require absolute control over the underlying AI infrastructure and APIs used by your autonomous agents, as AutoGPT imposes its own framework. If your project demands proprietary or specialized models that aren't supported by AutoGPT's API ecosystem (e.g., custom TensorFlow or PyTorch models), consider other tools. ### When should I avoid speech_recognition? 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. AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism. ### Is AutoGPT or speech_recognition more popular on GitHub? AutoGPT has more GitHub stars (185,464 vs 8,971). Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints. ### Are AutoGPT and speech_recognition open source? Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (AutoGPT: Other, speech_recognition: BSD-3-Clause). ### Where can I find alternatives to AutoGPT or speech_recognition? GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [AutoGPT alternatives](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt/alternatives) and [speech_recognition alternatives](/tools/uberi-speech-recognition/alternatives) ([AutoGPT markdown twin](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt/alternatives.md), [speech_recognition markdown twin](/tools/uberi-speech-recognition/alternatives.md)), ranked by typed relationship edges rather than popularity votes. ### Is there a machine-readable version of this comparison? Yes. The markdown twin at [this comparison](/compare/significant-gravitas-autogpt-vs-uberi-speech-recognition.md) mirrors this page for agents and LLM crawlers, with the same stats table and FAQ answers. ### Which is better maintained, AutoGPT or speech_recognition? AutoGPT: Very active. speech_recognition: Active. Compare maintenance labels, days since push, and release cadence in the trust section below - stars alone do not measure maintenance. ### Where are the full trust reports for AutoGPT and speech_recognition? GraphCanon publishes per-repo trust reports with dated maintenance, provenance, and scan summaries: [AutoGPT trust report](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt/trust); [speech_recognition trust report](/tools/uberi-speech-recognition/trust). --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=significant-gravitas-autogpt`](/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=significant-gravitas-autogpt) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
