When should I avoid Video-LLaMA?

Do not use when the primary focus is on languages other than English and Chinese, as the model's representation capabilities outside these languages might be limited. Avoid using Video-LLaMA if you require real-time audio processing in a deployment environment that does not support Vicuna-7B audio branch currently running on A10-24G GPUs.

When should I avoid Chinese-LLaMA-Alpaca?

If your project requires models that are not specific to the Chinese language or do not benefit from Chinese-specific pre-training. When you need models that are not available in the sizes provided by Chinese-LLaMA-Alpaca, such as models smaller than 7B or larger than 33B. If you prefer models that are not based on LLaMA or Alpaca architectures.
