What is difference between in inject vs viewmodel in Android koin

Question

I'm using Koin 3.2 which has the new module includes feature. I am want to know what is the difference between the use of by inject() or by viewmodel().

val viewModel by inject<MainActivityViewModel>()

or

val viewModel by viewmodel<MainActivityViewModel>()

in viewmodel. I know both works correctly.

Thanks
