They use the exact same algorithm under the hood but obviously less work is done in using solve compared to inv because you just do fewer operations.

I was sure that the documentation page for numpy.linalg.inv had a comment recommending to use numpy.linalg.solve instead whenever possible, but apparently I remember wrong.

Sure they do compute inverses, if you call inv.
