Validate activity before betting a new project on text2vec. - Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough. - Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between awesome-production-machine-learning and text2vec? awesome-production-machine-learning: A curated list of awesome open source libraries to deploy, monitor, version and scale your machine learning. text2vec: 文本向量表征工具，实现多种文本表征和相似度计算模型.
