When NOT to use gpustack
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your deployment constraints do not permit the use of Docker containers and there is a need for bare-metal deployments without containerized solutions.
- When the tool-specific focus on certain models like vLLM or SGLang does not align with the model ecosystem preferred by your team.
