When NOT to use maxtext
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid using MaxText if you are only interested in TensorFlow or PyTorch specific optimizations and functionalities without a seamless transition to JAX
- Not recommended for users requiring model customization outside of supported architectures as it strictly adheres to Gemma2, GPT, LLaMA series, Mistral, Mixtral
