## Choose when

### Choose LLM-PowerHouse-A-Curated-Guide-for-Large-Language-Models-with-Custom-Training-and-Inferencing if…

- LLM-PowerHouse-A-Curated-Guide-for-Large-Language-Models-with-Custom-Training-and-Inferencing is primarily Jupyter Notebook; LlamaFactory is Python.
- License: LLM-PowerHouse-A-Curated-Guide-for-Large-Language-Models-with-Custom-Training-and-Inferencing is MIT, LlamaFactory is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to LLM-PowerHouse-A-Curated-Guide-for-Large-Language-Models-with-Custom-Training-and-Inferencing: bert, llm-tutorials, llm-inference, huggingface.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.

### Choose LlamaFactory if…

- LlamaFactory is primarily Python; LLM-PowerHouse-A-Curated-Guide-for-Large-Language-Models-with-Custom-Training-and-Inferencing is Jupyter Notebook.
- License: LlamaFactory is Apache-2.0, LLM-PowerHouse-A-Curated-Guide-for-Large-Language-Models-with-Custom-Training-and-Inferencing is MIT.
- Tags unique to LlamaFactory: gemma, fine-tuning, deepseek, ai.
- When you need to fine-tune over 100 different LLMs or VLMs with efficient methods like LoRA or QLoRA.

## When NOT to use LLM-PowerHouse-A-Curated-Guide-for-Large-Language-Models-with-Custom-Training-and-Inferencing

- Last GitHub push was 120 days ago (slowing maintenance, Mar 13, 2026). Validate activity before betting a new project on LLM-PowerHouse-A-Curated-Guide-for-Large-Language-Models-with-Custom-Training-and-Inferencing.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
- Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic.

## When NOT to use LlamaFactory

- When you are looking to fine-tune less popular or niche models that are not supported within the 100+ models covered by LlamaFactory.
- If your project specifically requires custom fine-tuning methods not available in this repository, such as certain versions of PEFT (Parameter Efficient Fine-Tuning) techniques excluding LoRA and QLoa
