## Choose when

### Choose Chinese-Word-Vectors if…

- License: Chinese-Word-Vectors is Apache-2.0, awesome-pretrained-chinese-nlp-models is MIT.
- Tags unique to Chinese-Word-Vectors: embedding, word-embeddings.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval.
- Use when you specifically require a wide variety (over 100) of pre-trained Chinese word vectors tailored to different aspects of natural language processing within your project.

### Choose awesome-pretrained-chinese-nlp-models if…

- License: awesome-pretrained-chinese-nlp-models is MIT, Chinese-Word-Vectors is Apache-2.0.
- Requirements: Min 8 GB RAM; 推荐使用 HuggingFace 镜像地址下载模型以支持国内用户。; 项目依赖于最新的学术研究成果，持续更新中。.
- Tags unique to awesome-pretrained-chinese-nlp-models: bert, ernie, llm, dataset.
- Also covers Model Training, LLM Frameworks, Vector Databases.
- 当您需要针对特定中文情境（如金融、医疗或法律领域）进行自然语言理解和处理时

## When NOT to use Chinese-Word-Vectors

- Avoid using this tool if your project requires fine-tuning on a very specific domain that is not well-represented among the existing 100+ models provided.
- This collection may not be optimal if you are working strictly within English or other languages, as it focuses primarily on Chinese word vectors.

## When NOT to use awesome-pretrained-chinese-nlp-models

- 当项目需求集中在除中文以外的语言处理上
- 如果您的应用对预训练模型的安全性、私密性有特别严格的要求，并且需要完全自定义的模型环境
- 如果您追求的是最小化部署资源消耗的应用场景，对于非常大规模（参数量 >7B）的模型并无显著偏好
