## Choose when

### Choose pratical-llms if…

- Tags unique to pratical-llms: genai, llm-evaluation, llm-inference, llm-serving.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability, LLM Frameworks.
- If you want to explore specific quantization methods like BitandBytes, GPTQ, exllamav2, or Half-Quadratic Quantization (HQQ).

### Choose LLM-FineTuning-Large-Language-Models if…

- Tags unique to LLM-FineTuning-Large-Language-Models: gpt-3, gpt3-turbo, llama2, mistral-7b.
- When you specifically need to work with GPT-3, GPT3-Turbo, LLaMA2, or Mistral-7B models within a Jupyter Notebook environment for fine-tuning tasks.
- More GitHub stars (577 vs 53) - visibility, not fit.

## 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.

## When NOT to use LLM-FineTuning-Large-Language-Models

- Do not use this repository if you are looking to work with frameworks other than Pytorch, as it is specifically tied to Pytorch implementations.
- Avoid choosing this tool if you do not need model finetuning capabilities and instead require only inference or serving services from your language models.
