Choose LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit if…
- 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
Choose MGM if…
- Tags unique to MGM: additional-packages-training-cases, generation, multi-modality, research-only-use.
- When working on projects requiring integration of text and visual data for generation tasks.
- More GitHub stars (3.3k vs 872) - visibility, not fit.
When NOT to use MGM
- Avoid if your project requires commercial licensing, as MGM is strictly research-use only under CC BY NC 4.0.
- Not suitable if you are unable to update or ensure the availability of required Python packages like flash-attn and ninja for training purposes.
