  • Huge, active community and adoption
  • Integrates with Hugging Face, Colab, and PyTorch
Cons
  • Python-centric workflow authoring
  • Orchestration concepts have a learning curve
  • Enterprise features are paid
  • Kubernetes knowledge helps for self-hosting
  • Overkill for very simple pipelines
  • Requires ML knowledge to use effectively
  • Multi-GPU/multi-node training needs paid tiers
  • Cited speedups/memory savings are configuration-dependent
  • Limited built-in team collaboration features
  • You manage your own compute and workflow
