Choose AutoPrompt if…
- Tags unique to AutoPrompt: prompt-engineering, prompt-tuning, synthetic-dataset-generation.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval.
- When you need to calibrate prompts specifically for enhancing intent clarity within the target language model.
When NOT to use AutoPrompt
- Avoid using AutoPrompt if your project requires a framework that supports multiple programming languages beyond Python.
- If you do not require or prefer Intent-based Prompt Calibration for tuning, look elsewhere as this feature could be less appealing and flexible compared to alternative methods in competing tools.
Choose FastEdit if…
- Requirements: Min -1 GB RAM; Requires Python 3.8+ and PyTorch 1.13.1+. Must also install 🤗Transformers, Datasets, Accelerate, sentencepiece, and fire.; Hardware requirements for a specific model can vary; refer to the provided table for minimum RAM sizes for different models..
- Tags unique to FastEdit: bloom, chatbots, chatgpt, falcon.
- When rapid iterations on language model edits are necessary, such as testing and tuning with tight feedback loops.
When NOT to use FastEdit
- If your workflow requires integration with TensorFlow instead of PyTorch, since FastEdit is built on top of PyTorch.
- For hardware configurations that cannot meet the fast editing mode's requirements; for instance, if you have less than 24GB RAM available.
- If rapid edits within seconds are not a priority and longer processing times can be tolerated.
