## Choose when

### Choose Awesome-Chinese-LLM if…

- Tags unique to Awesome-Chinese-LLM: awesome-lists, chatglm, chinese, llama.
- If you are looking to implement low-cost and efficient Chinese NLP solutions that can be deployed privately.
- More GitHub stars (23k vs 4.3k) - visibility, not fit.

### Choose AI-Infra-from-Zero-to-Hero if…

- Tags unique to AI-Infra-from-Zero-to-Hero: ai-infra, genai, large language models, llmsys.
- Also covers Developer Tools, Inference & Serving.
- When you are aiming to understand the foundational research papers, industry practices, video tutorials specific to ML systems and LLM infrastructures without requiring implementation details.

## When NOT to use Awesome-Chinese-LLM

- Avoid if your project necessitates large-scale, highly advanced computational capabilities or you are working with languages other than Chinese.
- If your deployment scenario is limited to public cloud services only without the option for private deployment.

## When NOT to use AI-Infra-from-Zero-to-Hero

- If you need step-by-step implementations for AI infrastructure setup as the repository focuses on resources rather than detailed technical instructions.
- Avoid if seeking guidance specifically for real-time system deployment and tuning, since it does not cover operational tactics in depth.
