Choose self-llm if…
- License: self-llm is Apache-2.0, DeepSeek-R1 is MIT.
- Requirements: Min 8 GB RAM; A Linux environment is required for following the tutorials.; Basic knowledge of Linux and command-line operations is recommended..
- Tags unique to self-llm: chatglm, chatglm3, gemma-2b-it, glm-4.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- Use self-llm if you are a student or researcher in China looking for detailed tutorials on deploying and fine-tuning open-source large language models in a Linux environment.
When NOT to use self-llm
- Avoid self-llm if you are not comfortable with Linux and prefer a different operating system for your model deployment and fine-tuning.
- Do not use self-llm if you are looking for a tool that focuses on proprietary models or if you require support for non-Linux environments.
Choose DeepSeek-R1 if…
- License: DeepSeek-R1 is MIT, self-llm is Apache-2.0.
- Pricing: The repository allows for commercial use under the MIT License or respective original licenses with no explicit monetary costs outlined in the repository..
- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; This is a rough estimate based on common model requirements. Specific models within DeepSeek-R1 may have different resource needs..
- Tags unique to DeepSeek-R1: commercial-use, derived models, distilled models, mit license.
- When you need to work with pre-trained models derived specifically from the Qwen-2.5 and Llama3.x series, benefiting from their unique characteristics.
When NOT to use DeepSeek-R1
- Avoid if you need foundational models rather than distilled versions, as DeepSeek-R1 specializes in providing smaller, more efficient models suitable for resource-constrained environments.
- If your project is tightly regulated or requires models from a different lineage, as DeepSeek-R1 exclusively provides derivatives of Qwen and LLaMA series.
