Choose Awesome-Multimodal-Large-Language-Models if…
- Tags unique to Awesome-Multimodal-Large-Language-Models: chain-of-thought, instruction-tuning, multi-modality, large-language-models.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.
- - You need comprehensive resources for evaluating multimodal LLMs and want access to the latest research findings in this area.
When NOT to use Awesome-Multimodal-Large-Language-Models
- - If your primary focus is on single-modality language models, without a need to integrate visual or audio elements.
- - If you prefer tools that provide hands-on implementation guidance rather than surveys and benchmarks for theoretical exploration.
Choose lighteval if…
- Tags unique to lighteval: evaluation, python, huggingface, evaluation-metrics.
- When you need to evaluate the performance of various LLMs on different backend infrastructures, especially if you are working within Mac/Linux environments.
When NOT to use lighteval
- Avoid Lighteval for evaluations on Windows systems as it is currently untested and not supported there.
- Should you require a solution that does not integrate with or depend on the Hugging Face ecosystem, Lighteval might not fulfill your needs.
