When NOT to use nndeploy

Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.

  • Do not use if your project only requires low-level access to hardware without the need for a high-level interface like nndeploy offers.
  • If you're working exclusively on platforms or frameworks unsupported by nndeploy, such as certain proprietary or non-mainstream inference engines.
