Which one should I pick for a new project?

I can't make that decision for you without knowing your project's goals, but I can help you understand what each repository does:

guillaume-be/rust-bert is for Natural Language Processing tasks. Pick this if you need:

• Question answering, named entity recognition, translation, summarization
• Text generation, sentiment analysis, or masked language modeling
• Ready-to-use NLP pipelines in Rust
• The library provides task-specific models like QuestionAnsweringModel and TextGenerationModel [src/lib.rs:L1-L40]

starship/starship is a command prompt customization tool. Pick this if you need:

• A shell prompt that displays system/project information
• Configuration for showing git branches, language versions, OS symbols, etc.
• The repository defines configuration structures for dozens of modules [src/configs/mod.rs:L1-L40]

Key difference: rust-bert solves ML/NLP problems; starship solves shell prompt customization.

If your project involves processing natural language (classification, Q&A, translation, etc.), choose rust-bert. If you're building a shell prompt or terminal UI tool, choose starship.

The RepoPilot analysis marks both as healthy across use cases, so either is reliable for its intended purpose.
