When NOT to use kaito
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your organization does not use Kubernetes, as KAITO is specifically designed to operate within a Kubernetes environment.
- When you require support for BYO models from sources other than HuggingFace, as KAITO only supports models hosted on HuggingFace.
- If you need to deploy models without autoscaling capabilities, as KAITO integrates with KEDA for autoscaling, which may not be necessary for all use cases.
