# DeepSpeed vs LocalAI

DeepSpeed and LocalAI share 8 technologies: accelerate, sentencepiece, torch, transformers, einops, diffusers, safetensors, and torchvision. DeepSpeed is written in Python and LocalAI in Go.

- [deepspeedai/DeepSpeed](https://seerepo.com/r/deepspeedai/DeepSpeed): DeepSpeed is a deep learning optimization library that makes distributed training and inference easy, efficient, and effective.
- [mudler/LocalAI](https://seerepo.com/r/mudler/LocalAI): LocalAI is the open-source AI engine. Run any model - LLMs, vision, voice, image, video - on any hardware. No GPU required.

## Side by side

| | DeepSpeed | LocalAI |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 247,033 lines written, 760 code files | 1,389,292 lines written, 2,979 code files |
| Who writes it | 2.7% of its commits signed by AI. With GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude Code | 3.7% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor |
| Activity | Last push November 6, 2026, 3,619 commits, 43,302 stars | Last push November 5, 2026, 9,317 commits, 50,214 stars |
| Tests | 395 test files. 33% of its code files have a test that imports them | 2,911 test files. 60.8% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- 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.
