## Choose when

### Choose AlignLLMHumanSurvey if…

- Tags unique to AlignLLMHumanSurvey: chinese-llama, awesome, llms, llama.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
- 当您需要全面了解将大型语言模型与人类期望对齐的技术和方法时，可以使用AlignLLMHumanSurvey，它涵盖了数据收集、训练方法和模型评估等多个方面。

### Choose align-anything if…

- Requirements: Min 8 GB RAM; Some functionalities may require additional dependencies or libraries to be installed separately.; Python environment with necessary packages for multimodal processing and large language model training..
- Tags unique to align-anything: rlhf, python, vision-language-model, chameleon.
- Also covers Computer Vision.
- align-anything ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you need to train large language models or vision-language tasks and require the ability to integrate feedback from different modalities to enhance model performance.

## When NOT to use AlignLLMHumanSurvey

- 当您需要具体的技术实现代码或工具箱时，请勿使用AlignLLMHumanSurvey，因为它仅仅是一个汇总知识的调研文档，不提供具体的编程实现细节。
- 如果您正在寻找特定模型的性能评估数据或者准备在实际项目中直接应用某种对齐技术，则这个资源可能不会满足您的需求，因为它更侧重于理论和调查研究。

## When NOT to use align-anything

- When your project strictly focuses on unimodal tasks where feedback from multiple modalities is not beneficial.
- If the project requires real-time inference without the need for complex feedback loops which could slow down the model training process.
