## Choose when

### Choose Awesome-Chinese-LLM if…

- Tags unique to Awesome-Chinese-LLM: awesome-lists, chatglm, chinese, llama.
- Also covers Model Training.
- If you are looking to implement low-cost and efficient Chinese NLP solutions that can be deployed privately.

### Choose StableLM if…

- Tags unique to StableLM: ai-research, language-models, model-training, open-source.
- When targeting research into the impact of multi-epoch token repetition on model performance, as StableLM is specifically designed around this concept.

## 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 StableLM

- If your project requires the strictest data privacy guarantees since some models are under less restrictive licenses, limiting their usage in projects with such constraints.
- For applications needing larger language models than 13 billion parameters, as StableLM's largest model is StableVicuna-13B.
