# ColossalAI vs Soup

ColossalAI and Soup share 10 technologies: FastAPI, Hugging Face, Rich, transformers, peft, datasets, bitsandbytes, accelerate, Pydantic, and psutil. Both are written in Python.

- [hpcaitech/ColossalAI](https://seerepo.com/r/hpcaitech/ColossalAI): Making large AI models cheaper, faster and more accessible
- [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.

- 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.
