Choose argo-workflows if…
- argo-workflows is primarily Go; LlamaFactory is Python.
- Tags unique to argo-workflows: argo-workflows, dag, batch-processing, data-engineering.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- argo-workflows ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
When NOT to use argo-workflows
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
Choose LlamaFactory if…
- LlamaFactory is primarily Python; argo-workflows is Go.
- Tags unique to LlamaFactory: gemma, fine-tuning, deepseek, ai.
- When you need to fine-tune over 100 different LLMs or VLMs with efficient methods like LoRA or QLoRA.
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
