# Soup vs textgen

Soup and textgen share 9 technologies: FastAPI, Hugging Face, Rich, transformers, peft, datasets, bitsandbytes, accelerate, and Pydantic. Both are written in Python.

- [MakazhanAlpamys/Soup](https://seerepo.com/r/MakazhanAlpamys/Soup): Fine-tune LLMs from one YAML. Layer streaming trains an 8B model on a 4 GB laptop GPU.
- [oobabooga/textgen](https://seerepo.com/r/oobabooga/textgen): Open-source desktop app for local LLMs. Text, vision, tool-calling, OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible API. 100% private.

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: FastAPI, Hugging Face, Rich, transformers, peft, datasets, bitsandbytes, accelerate, Pydantic
- Only in Soup: trl, psutil

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
