Choose pratical-llms if…
- pratical-llms is primarily Jupyter Notebook; llm-twin-course is Python.
- Tags unique to pratical-llms: genai, llm-evaluation, llm-inference, llm-serving.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- If you want to explore specific quantization methods like BitandBytes, GPTQ, exllamav2, or Half-Quadratic Quantization (HQQ).
When NOT to use pratical-llms
- If you seek deep theoretical insights rather than practical implementation details.
- For users looking for commercial support as this repository does not provide it, unlike some competitors.
Choose llm-twin-course if…
- llm-twin-course is primarily Python; pratical-llms is Jupyter Notebook.
- Tags unique to llm-twin-course: aws, bytewax, comet-ml, docker.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval.
- llm-twin-course ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When seeking an extensive guide with practical implementation for setting up LLM and RAG systems using industry best practices.
When NOT to use llm-twin-course
- Avoid if you're looking for cost-free development, as it requires use of paid APIs from services like OpenAI and AWS.
- Not suitable if your primary goal is to learn theory only, as this repository emphasizes hands-on lessons over in-depth theoretical explanations.
