Choose Aquila2 if…
- Tags unique to Aquila2: llm, llm-training.
- Also covers Model Training.
- Need specialized support from Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence
When NOT to use Aquila2
- Require comprehensive API and documentation clarity
- Preferring open source licensing details
Choose EAGLE if…
- Tags unique to EAGLE: large-language-models, speculative-decoding.
- If your project requires the latest advancements in model capabilities from ICML'24, EMNLP'24, and NeurIPS'25 as provided by EAGLE-1, EAGLE-2, or EAGLE-3.
- More GitHub stars (2.5k vs 445) - visibility, not fit.
When NOT to use EAGLE
- If the specific advancements and techniques implemented in ICML'24 papers are not relevant to your project.
- In cases where speculative decoding does not align with the goals or methods of your application, opting for EAGLE may not be beneficial.
