## Choose when

### Choose model_card if…

- Requirements: The model card is intended for use with the BLOOM language model and provides details on its architecture, training data, and evaluation.; It is recommended to refer to the BLOOM model card for comprehensive information before using the model in any application..
- Tags unique to model_card: bigscience, bloom, language-model, model card.
- When you need detailed information on the development and training of BLOOM, a large multilingual language model.

### Choose awesome-LLM-resources if…

- Pricing: The repository itself is free to use, but some linked resources may require payment or have associated costs..
- Requirements: The repository does not specify any technical requirements for accessing its content..
