Choose lingua if…
- License: lingua is BSD-3-Clause, CodeGeeX is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to lingua: large language models, python-framework, research-tools.
- Use Lingua when your preference lies in a lean Python-based framework that emphasizes modifiability for LLM research.
When NOT to use lingua
- Avoid Lingua if your project requires extensive pre-built functionalities that this lightweight framework does not provide out-of-the-box.
- Not recommended for researchers or developers seeking a comprehensive suite of tools and who prefer a more feature-rich environment over modifiability.
Choose CodeGeeX if…
- License: CodeGeeX is Apache-2.0, lingua is BSD-3-Clause.
- Tags unique to CodeGeeX: ai programming tools, code generation, pretrained-models.
- Also covers Model Training.
- When you require support for multilingual code generation and your project has a Python-based infrastructure with CUDA GPU availability.
When NOT to use CodeGeeX
- If your development environment lacks the necessary dependencies like Python 3.7+, CUDA 11+, PyTorch 1.10+, and DeepSpeed 0.6+.
- In scenarios where an open-source solution is not preferable or when support for exclusively one language's syntax is sufficient.
