Choose llm-axe if…
- License: llm-axe is MIT, LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to llm-axe: function-calling, llama3, local-llm, ollama.
- When you need to develop LLM-powered applications quickly using local models, emphasizing simplicity and ease of integration.
When NOT to use llm-axe
- Avoid if your project strictly requires cloud-based LLM resources or seamless model switching across different providers.
- Not recommended for scenarios where extensive customization of the training pipeline is a requirement, as it focuses on implementation rather than deep training flexibility.
Choose LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit if…
- License: LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit is Apache-2.0, llm-axe is MIT.
- Tags unique to LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit: ablation-study, classification, falcon, fine-tuning.
- LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When working specifically with Falcon, Flan-T5, LLama2, Mistral-7B or Zephyr models due to inbuilt support
When NOT to use LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit
- If prioritizing proprietary LLMs not listed as supported within the toolkit
- When working with languages other than Python, since toolkit is exclusively for Python environments
