Choose distributed-llama if…
- License: distributed-llama is MIT, serving is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to distributed-llama: distributed-computing, llm-inference.
- When you have multiple interconnected home devices and want to maximize their combined computing power for LLM inference tasks.
When NOT to use distributed-llama
- For scenarios with fewer than two available devices, as the framework's capability to distribute and boost performance would be limited.
- In professional environments that require strict data privacy controls, due to potential network vulnerabilities among home devices.
Choose serving if…
- License: serving is Apache-2.0, distributed-llama is MIT.
- Requirements: Requires Docker; Docker is required for easy deployment of TensorFlow Serving..
- Tags unique to serving: cpp, deep-learning, deep-neural-networks, machine-learning.
- When you need a system that supports multiple models, versions, and platforms, including Docker for easy deployment.
When NOT to use serving
- If your project is not aligned with TensorFlow's ecosystem and you prefer a different framework for model serving.
- When you require a solution that is not written in C++ and you prefer a different language for your deployment environment.
