scvi-tools
Deep generative models for single-cell omics. Use when you need probabilistic batch correction (scVI), transfer learning, differential expression with uncertainty, or multi-modal integration (TOTALVI, MultiVI). Best for advanced modeling, batch effects, multimodal data. For standard analysis pipelines use scanpy.
