You can integrate it into internal systems without restriction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q: What hardware do we need?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A: It depends on your use case. For small footprints, you can run with <strong>CPU-only (no GPU)<\/strong>. For larger workloads, we design an optimal configuration for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q: How do we migrate from our current ChatGPT setup?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A: Dify is <strong>compatible with OpenAI-style APIs<\/strong>, so you can migrate existing prompts and workflows with minimal changes.
