When should I choose Chinese-LLaMA-Alpaca-2 over self-llm?

Choose Chinese-LLaMA-Alpaca-2 over self-llm when Chinese-LLaMA-Alpaca-2 is primarily Python; self-llm is Jupyter Notebook; Chinese-LLaMA-Alpaca-2 seems to be a more advanced version catering specifically to the Chinese language and larger context windows, indicating it might succeed datawhalechina's initiative which is also about developing LLMs for Chinese users; Tags unique to Chinese-LLaMA-Alpaca-2: 64k, alpaca, alpaca-2, flash-attention; When you need Chinese-specific large language models with long context capabilities up to 64K.

When should I avoid 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.

When should I avoid Chinese-LLaMA-Alpaca-2?

If you need models that support languages other than Chinese, as this repository focuses on Chinese models. If you require models with shorter context lengths than 4K, as the standard models support 4K and the long context models support 16K and 64K. If you are looking for models that do not include human preference alignment (RLHF), as this repository includes models that have been fine-tuned for this purpose.
