## Choose when

### Choose awesome-llms-fine-tuning if…

- Tags unique to awesome-llms-fine-tuning: ai, awesome-list, deep-learning, fine-tuning.
- Also covers Model Training.
- Need extensive guidance on LLM-specific fine-tuning strategies

### Choose StableLM if…

- Tags unique to StableLM: ai-research, language-models, model-training, open-source.
- When targeting research into the impact of multi-epoch token repetition on model performance, as StableLM is specifically designed around this concept.
- More GitHub stars (16k vs 525) - visibility, not fit.

## When NOT to use awesome-llms-fine-tuning

- Looking for real-time interactive support or direct code implementation help
- Favor more specialized tools for immediate performance optimization over broad learning

## When NOT to use StableLM

- If your project requires the strictest data privacy guarantees since some models are under less restrictive licenses, limiting their usage in projects with such constraints.
- For applications needing larger language models than 13 billion parameters, as StableLM's largest model is StableVicuna-13B.
