When NOT to use lorax

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

  • - Your system does not meet the minimum hardware requirements (Nvidia Ampere generation GPU or higher).
  • - If your team lacks experience with Docker and Linux-based systems since Lorax's setup guidelines rely heavily on these technologies.
  • - You are restricted to software licenses other than Apache-2.0, as Lorax is distributed under this specific license.
