When should I avoid happy-llm?

If you are seeking a tool for immediate deployment of large language models without the need for understanding the underlying principles. When you require a resource that focuses solely on the latest research papers and cutting-edge algorithms without a systematic learning path. If you prefer English-language resources, as the primary content is in Chinese, although an English version is available.

When should I avoid train-llm-from-scratch?

If you are looking for a quick and easy way to fine-tune a pre-existing large language model, as this repository focuses on training from scratch, When you require a solution that supports distributed training across multiple GPUs or TPUs, as this repository is designed for single GPU training, If you need a solution that integrates with popular deep learning frameworks other than PyTorch, as this repository is specifically built using PyTorch, When you are working with very large datasets that require specialized data handling and preprocessing techniques not covered in this repository
