Choose argo-workflows if…
- argo-workflows is primarily Go; LLMs-from-scratch is Jupyter Notebook.
- License: argo-workflows is Apache-2.0, LLMs-from-scratch is Other.
- Tags unique to argo-workflows: airflow, argo, argo-workflows, batch-processing.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- argo-workflows ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
When NOT to use argo-workflows
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
Choose LLMs-from-scratch if…
- LLMs-from-scratch is primarily Jupyter Notebook; argo-workflows is Go.
- License: LLMs-from-scratch is Other, argo-workflows is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to LLMs-from-scratch: ai, artificial-intelligence, attention mechanism, deep-learning.
- - You are an advanced practitioner aiming to fully understand the underpinnings of LLMs using PyTorch as your primary framework.
When NOT to use LLMs-from-scratch
- - If you are looking for a rapid deployment of an LLM without understanding its intricate structure - this tool requires extensive manual and conceptual work.
- - You prefer frameworks with automatic model generation or other high-level abstractions that simplify the process. This repository emphasizes manual creation, which is more time-consuming but offers丰
- a deeper learning experience.
