Choose LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit if…
- License: LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit is Apache-2.0, DeepInception is MIT.
- Tags unique to LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit: ablation-study, classification, falcon, fine-tuning.
- Also covers Model Training.
- 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 DeepInception if…
- License: DeepInception is MIT, LLM-Finetuning-Toolkit is Apache-2.0.
- Pricing: The tool is free under the MIT license. However, using it may incur costs from third-party services like OpenAI API keys for accessing closed-source models.
- Requirements: Requires PyTorch ≥1.10 with GPU support; Environment modification needed to include path configurations for Vicuna, Llama-2, and Falcon.
- Tags unique to DeepInception: deep, gpt, inception, jailbreak.
- When you need to research the effects of specific modifications on the safety and trustworthiness of GPT-3, GPT-4, Vicuna, Llama-2, or Falcon models
When NOT to use DeepInception
- For deployment in production environments where strict adherence to ethical and regulatory guidelines is mandatory, due to the experimental nature of DeepInception
- When there's a need for direct application without exploring modification effects, as DeepInception requires setting up an environment that supports specific models and modifications
