Validate activity before betting a new project on autoai. - Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge. - Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic. ## When NOT to use llm-course - - If you only require a quick introduction to LLMs without deep dive into core components - - When you prefer working directly with commercial platforms that provide complete services rather than following detailed steps on building and deploying models yourself through this course's open,DI ## Common questions ### What is the difference between autoai and llm-course? autoai: Python based framework for Automatic AI for Regression and Classification over numerical data.
