Complicating matters slightly more, the AOM recently adopted the SVT codebase as their official implementation for future work.
Though obviously other encoders (and decoders) are available for the AV1 format. I think for individual encode enthusiasts the old libaom codebase is still the goto, but if you are Facebook or Netflix you probably want to be looking at SVT-AV1.
