XGBoost is a specific implementation of gradient boosting trees, so strictly speaking scikit-learn cannot "contain" XGBoost. That being said:

- XGBoost has a scikit-learn compatible API: https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/python/python_api.html#module-xgboost.sklearn. So does LightGBM, another fast implementation of gradient boosting trees.

- scikit-learn implements "vanilla" gradient boosting https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/ensemble.html#gradient-boosting

- There's an open PR in scikit learn (still very WIP) that implements the same kind of optimization that XGBoost and LightGBM use, which will make GBDT faster https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/pull/12807.

Does sklearn contain xgboost to use?

thanks
