Choose FLsystem-paper if…
- Tags unique to FLsystem-paper: awesome-list, federated-learning, machine-learning, mlsys.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (1).
When NOT to use FLsystem-paper
- Last GitHub push was 886 days ago (dormant maintenance, Feb 7, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on FLsystem-paper.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
Choose LlamaFactory if…
- Tags unique to LlamaFactory: agent, ai, deepseek, fine-tuning.
- When you need to fine-tune over 100 different LLMs or VLMs with efficient methods like LoRA or QLoRA.
- More GitHub stars (73k vs 75) - visibility, not fit.
When NOT to use LlamaFactory
- When you are looking to fine-tune less popular or niche models that are not supported within the 100+ models covered by LlamaFactory.
- If your project specifically requires custom fine-tuning methods not available in this repository, such as certain versions of PEFT (Parameter Efficient Fine-Tuning) techniques excluding LoRA and QLoa
