# ColossalAI vs heretic

ColossalAI and heretic share 10 technologies: Hugging Face, Rich, torch, transformers, peft, datasets, bitsandbytes, accelerate, torchvision, and psutil. Both are written in Python.

- [hpcaitech/ColossalAI](https://seerepo.com/r/hpcaitech/ColossalAI): Making large AI models cheaper, faster and more accessible
- [p-e-w/heretic](https://seerepo.com/r/p-e-w/heretic): Training-free language model modification: Remove censorship, suppress slop, reduce sycophancy, and more

| Activity | Last push November 6, 2026, 3,887 commits, 41,430 stars | Last push November 6, 2026, 235 commits, 39,677 stars |
| Tests | 505 test files. 1.1% of its code files have a test that imports them | 6 test files. 27.8% 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.
