Choose ALERT if…
- License: ALERT is Other, LlamaFactory is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to ALERT: artificial-intelligence, benchmark, bias-detection, llm.
- Also covers Computer Vision.
When NOT to use ALERT
- Last GitHub push was 663 days ago (dormant maintenance, Sep 20, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on ALERT.
- 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 LlamaFactory if…
- License: LlamaFactory is Apache-2.0, ALERT is Other.
- Tags unique to LlamaFactory: agent, deepseek, fine-tuning, gemma.
- 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
