XRec and EasyRec

Given their common publisher (HKUDS), similar names ("XRec" and "EasyRec"), and shared focus on language models for recommendation, these two tools appear to be **ecosystem siblings**, likely representing distinct research directions or refinements within the same research group's broader effort to leverage LLMs for recommendation systems.
