## Choose when

### Choose evidentiality_qa if…

- Requirements: Min 8 GB RAM; The model requires access to silver evidentiality data for training.; Training involves a multi-step process including training a base Fusion-in-Decoder model and a separate evidentiality labeling model..
- Tags unique to evidentiality_qa: evidentiality, fine-tuned models, knowledge-intensive tasks, multi-task learning.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval.
- Use evidentiality_qa when you need to improve performance on knowledge-intensive NLP tasks that require the model to generate answers based on evidence from retrieved passages.

### Choose LLMSurvey if…

- Pricing: The repository is free to access, but the Chinese book is available for purchase..
- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; A basic understanding of deep learning is recommended for the Chinese book..
- Tags unique to LLMSurvey: chain-of-thought, chatgpt, in-context-learning, instruction-tuning.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.
- Use LLMSurvey when you need a detailed survey paper and resources on Large Language Models, especially if you are interested in long chain-of-thought reasoning.

## When NOT to use evidentiality_qa

- Avoid using evidentiality_qa if your task does not involve knowledge-intensive NLP tasks that require evidence-based reasoning.
- Do not use evidentiality_qa if you lack the necessary silver evidentiality data for training, as the model relies on this data to predict evidentiality and generate answers.

## When NOT to use LLMSurvey

- Avoid LLMSurvey if you are looking for a tool that provides hands-on training or implementation of LLMs, as it focuses more on theoretical resources and surveys.
- Do not use LLMSurvey if you require real-time updates or interactive tools for LLM development, as it primarily offers static content and resources.
