inference VS pipeless

Yeah, inference[1] is our open source package for running locally (either directly in Python or via a Docker container). It works with all the models on Universe, models you train yourself (assuming we support the architecture; we have a bunch of notebooks available[2]), or train in our platform, plus several more general foundation models[3] (for things like embeddings, zero-shot detection, question answering, OCR, etc).

We also have a hosted API[4] you can hit for most models we support (except some of the large vision models that are really GPU-heavy) if you prefer.

After spending some months working on the Pipeless open-source framework, today I bring something new and really cool: Pipeless Agents

pipeless init my-project --template empty # Using the empty template we avoid the interactive shell cd my-project wget -O - https://github.com/pipeless-ai/pipeless/archive/main.tar.gz | tar -xz --strip=2 "pipeless-main/examples/yolo"

wget -O - https://github.com/pipeless-ai/pipeless/archive/main.tar.gz | tar -xz --strip=2 "pipeless-main/examples/onnx-yolo"

Check the live demo in the website

The code is available in the Pipeless GitHub repository: https://github.com/pipeless-ai/pipeless/tree/main/examples/yolo

Recently, a new alternative called Pipeless has appeared. Pipeless is an open-source framework that focuses on providing a great development experience and out-of-the-box performance. It offers a really easy stream management allowing you to add, edit, and remove streams on the fly as well as processing multiple streams. Furthermore, it offers you the possibility to deploy the applications either to the cloud or directly to embedded or edge devices.

You can find the repo here: https://github.com/pipeless-ai/pipeless

Pipeless is an open-source computer vision framework that ships everything you need to build and deploy computer vision applications really fast.
