Choose LLM-Adapters if…
- Tags unique to LLM-Adapters: adapters, fine-tuning, large language models, parameter-efficient.
- Optimizing resource usage when you need to fine-tune large language models without altering their core parameters
- Leaner open-issue backlog (55).
When NOT to use LLM-Adapters
- You require a full retraining approach that modifies all model weights, not just adapters
- Your project timeline does not allow for integrating and testing new methodologies from recent papers like EMNLP 2023
Choose gpt-neox if…
- Pricing: Free to use with the caveat of adhering to the Apache License terms, particularly in preserving copyright and license headers for all derivations..
- Tags unique to gpt-neox: deepspeed-library, gpt-3, language-model, transformers.
- - When your project requires a framework based on state-of-the-art libraries like Megatron and DeepSpeed that are optimized for large GPU clusters.
When NOT to use gpt-neox
- - In scenarios where minimal hardware resources, such as a single low-memory GPU or CPU-only environments, are available for training due to GPT-NeoX's requirement for a large-scale infrastructure.
- - If your project is limited by the Apache License terms or requires proprietary codebases without open-source contributions and modifications from external parties.
