Comparison
pratical-llms vs virtual-prompt-injection
Verdict
Pick pratical-llms if practical-llms is a collection of Jupyter Notebooks aimed at LLM practitioners with practical guidance on quantization, sharding, inference and evaluation techniques; pick virtual-prompt-injection if virtual Prompt Injection provides an unofficial implementation for backdooring instruction-tuned LLMs with virtual prompt injection, offering tools for data poisoning and evaluation specific to this technique.

Choose pratical-llms if…
- pratical-llms is primarily Jupyter Notebook; virtual-prompt-injection is Python.
- 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).
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 virtual-prompt-injection if…
- virtual-prompt-injection is primarily Python; pratical-llms is Jupyter Notebook.
- Tags unique to virtual-prompt-injection: backdoor attack, data poisoning, llm security, virtual prompt injection.
- If needing to simulate or study backdoor attacks specifically targeting the behavior of trained language models under certain scenarios without modifying input directly at inference time.
When NOT to use virtual-prompt-injection
- Not applicable for general training or serving tasks if backdoor insertion is not within scope as it focuses solely on simulating attacks.
- In a production environment where tampering with AI models' integrity and security is strictly prohibited due to ethical considerations.
