Choose LLM-RL-Visualized if…
- License: LLM-RL-Visualized is Other, LlamaFactory is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to LLM-RL-Visualized: algorithm, deep-learning, llm, machine-learning.
- When detailed visual explanations of LLM and RL algorithms are needed
When NOT to use LLM-RL-Visualized
- If looking for executable code or tools rather than diagrams and visual explanations alone
- For datasets or large-scale experimental setups that require more interactive coding environments
Choose LlamaFactory if…
- License: LlamaFactory is Apache-2.0, LLM-RL-Visualized 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
