## Choose when

### Choose LLMSys-PaperList if…

- (repository does not specify hosting environment)
- Tags unique to LLMSys-PaperList: academic-sources, framework-overview, inference-techniques, research papers.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.
- - When you need a curated list focusing on technical advancements in pre-training, post-training, serving, and multi-modal LLM systems.

### Choose LLMmap if…

- Tags unique to LLMmap: llms, open-set inference, pretrained-models, python.
- When you need immediate model deployment and don't want or can’t afford the time to train a custom model.

## When NOT to use LLMSys-PaperList

- - If you are looking for a general repository of machine learning papers rather than specific developments related to Large Language Models.
- - When your primary need is documentation or code examples rather than academic papers and project insights.
- - For applications where real-time updates and active community support are imperative, as LLMSys-PaperList primarily serves as a static list without user interaction features like commenting or liveＱ

## When NOT to use LLMmap

- If your application requires fine-tuning on specific datasets as LLMmap offers only generic pretrained models without out-of-the-box support for further training.
- In scenarios needing advanced customization beyond the provided behavioral templates, since LLMmap’s framework might not accommodate extensive model modifications.
