Choose LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit if…
- LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit is primarily Python; aikit is Go.
- License: LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit is Apache-2.0, aikit is MIT.
- Tags unique to LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit: ablation-study, classification, falcon, flan-t5.
- 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 aikit if…
- aikit is primarily Go; LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit is Python.
- License: aikit is MIT, LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to aikit: ai, buildkit, chatgpt, docker.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- - You need a flexible solution specifically built using Go and prefer its concurrency model.
When NOT to use aikit
- - You have a preference or requirement for Python-based tools due to the lack of native support in Aikit.
- - If your deployment setup strictly uses cloud-specific platforms and you do not use Kubernetes or Docker, as Aikit heavily integrates with containerized environments like these.
