Choose krasis if…
- krasis is primarily C++; LlamaFactory is Python.
- License: krasis is Other, LlamaFactory is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to krasis: cpu-inference, gguf-model-support, gpu-inference, high-performance-inference.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
When NOT to use krasis
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.
- 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…
- LlamaFactory is primarily Python; krasis is C++.
- License: LlamaFactory is Apache-2.0, krasis is Other.
- Tags unique to LlamaFactory: agent, ai, deepseek, fine-tuning.
- 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
