Best for	—	Teams self-hosting open-weight models ML platform and infra engineers High-throughput production inference
Pros	Handles very large knowledge bases (100,000+ notes) with a deep, cloneable note tree Attributes, scripting, and a REST API enable powerful automation and custom organization Rich editor plus specialized note types: canvas, mind maps, relation maps, and geo maps Self-hostable with sync, per-note encryption, and OpenID/TOTP login Actively maintained community continuation (TriliumNext) of the original project	Completely free and open source (Apache 2.0) Industry-leading throughput via PagedAttention OpenAI-compatible API for easy integration Broad model and quantization support Multi-GPU tensor and pipeline parallelism
Cons	Steep learning curve and a power-user, feature-dense interface AGPL-3.0 license may limit some commercial or embedded reuse Self-hosting a sync server adds setup and maintenance overhead AI/LLM integration is relatively new and secondary to the core note-taking features	You must provide and manage GPUs and infrastructure No official managed cloud from the project Rapid release cadence can introduce breaking changes Requires ML systems knowledge to tune and operate No built-in team collaboration or UI
