Decision brief
Conda is a versatile package and environment manager for Python, suitable for managing environments across different projects, including AI development.
Good fit when
- When you need a tool that can manage environments efficiently using hard links, making environments space efficient and quick to create.
- If you are working on projects that require specific versions of Python or packages that might conflict with other projects, conda allows you to isolate these dependencies in separate environments.
Avoid when
- If you are looking for a lightweight solution and do not need the extensive package management features, conda might be overkill.
- When your project strictly requires the latest versions of packages that are not yet available in the conda repositories, you might prefer pip for more immediate access to updates.
