## Choose when

### Choose code-eval if…

- Tags unique to code-eval: humaneval, wizardcoder.
- When you need clear comparisons of pass rates for different LLMs using standardized tests

### Choose Awesome-Code-LLM if…

- Requirements: No specific requirements to use the repository for reference or evaluation, but contributions may involve technical knowledge and familiarity with code-LLMs..
- Tags unique to Awesome-Code-LLM: awesome, code-generation, large-language-models.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.
- When you need a comprehensive list of state-of-the-art code generation LLMs with performance metrics such as HumanEval.

## When NOT to use code-eval

- If the tool's results do not correlate well with the official published benchmarks due to unknown prompt differences
- For real-time or dynamic evaluations as this repo offers pre-computed static results only

## When NOT to use Awesome-Code-LLM

- When looking for a tool that provides pre-trained models with built-in APIs or services, as Awesome-Code-LLM is primarily a directory/collection of information without direct service provision.
- If you require real-time interactive use-cases and need immediate API access to LLMs; this repository does not offer such functionality.
- In scenarios where you need a single end-to-end solution for training your own code generation models, as the platform is focused on aggregating third-party resources and research rather than offering
