Choose LLM-Finetuning if…

  • LLM-Finetuning is primarily Jupyter Notebook; LLM-RLHF-Tuning is Python.
  • Tags unique to LLM-Finetuning: falcon, huggingface, llama2, pytorch.
  • Need to specialize a pre-trained model with specific datasets or tasks using advanced techniques like PEFT and LoRA.

When NOT to use LLM-Finetuning

  • Looking for a framework that automates the entire fine-tuning process with minimal user interaction.
  • Prefer a text-generation pipeline where fine-grained control over PEFT and LoRA is not necessary.

Choose LLM-RLHF-Tuning if…

  • LLM-RLHF-Tuning is primarily Python; LLM-Finetuning is Jupyter Notebook.
  • Tags unique to LLM-RLHF-Tuning: language-model, llm, lora, ppo.
  • When you need to fine-tune LLMS using PEFT methods such as SFT+RM+PPO+DPO alongside LoRA.

When NOT to use LLM-RLHF-Tuning

  • Avoid if your project only requires basic finetuning without the need for advanced techniques like PEFT or LoRA.
  • Not suitable if you require a tool that supports other specific fine-tuning methods not covered by this framework.
