Use cases	ml-pipelinesdistributed-traininghyperparameter-tuningmodel-registryllm-fine-tuningnotebooks	stateful agentshuman-in-loopproduction
Pros	CNCF-graduated, vendor-neutral, no lock-in to a single cloud Covers the full lifecycle: notebooks, pipelines, training, tuning, registry, serving Distributed LLM fine-tuning across PyTorch, JAX, XGBoost out of the box Huge ecosystem: 33K+ GitHub stars, 3K contributors, mature operator pattern Composable, adopt only the subprojects you actually need	Reliable, debuggable agent graphs Built-in persistence + HITL Production-grade Tight LangSmith integration
Cons	Steep operational learning curve, you need real Kubernetes expertise Subprojects ship on different cadences, version-matrix headaches are common No hosted SaaS, install and upgrade pain falls on your platform team Overkill for solo researchers or small teams without a cluster	Steeper learning curve than CrewAI Verbose to set up
