Choose LLM-Finetuning if…

  • LLM-Finetuning is primarily Jupyter Notebook; aikit is Go.
  • Tags unique to LLM-Finetuning: falcon, huggingface, llama, llama2.
  • 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 aikit if…

  • aikit is primarily Go; LLM-Finetuning is Jupyter Notebook.
  • Tags unique to aikit: ai, buildkit, chatgpt, docker.
  • Also covers Inference & Serving.
  • aikit ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
  • - You need a flexible solution specifically built using Go and prefer its concurrency model.

When NOT to use aikit

  • - You have a preference or requirement for Python-based tools due to the lack of native support in Aikit.
  • - If your deployment setup strictly uses cloud-specific platforms and you do not use Kubernetes or Docker, as Aikit heavily integrates with containerized environments like these.
