## Choose when

### Choose END-TO-END-GENERATIVE-AI-PROJECTS if…

- License: END-TO-END-GENERATIVE-AI-PROJECTS is MIT, litgpt is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to END-TO-END-GENERATIVE-AI-PROJECTS: chainlit, finetuning-llms, gemini, generative-ai.
- - When you need a wide range of generative AI projects focused on various LLMs such as GPT4o, Gemini, Mistral, and more.

### Choose litgpt if…

- License: litgpt is Apache-2.0, END-TO-END-GENERATIVE-AI-PROJECTS is MIT.
- Pricing: The core LitGPT framework is free to use under an open source license, but users might encounter costs when deploying at scale or using high-performance models..
- Requirements: Min 16 GB RAM.
- Tags unique to litgpt: ai, artificial-intelligence, deep-learning, large language models.
- If you are focusing on a project that requires rapid prototyping or experimentation with over 20 different LLMs to find the best fit for your application.

## When NOT to use END-TO-END-GENERATIVE-AI-PROJECTS

- - Avoid if your project strictly relies on a single specific framework not covered by this array of projects such as TensorFlow or PyTorch alone.
- - Not advisable for those seeking traditional ML models without an emphasis on generative text and conversational AI capabilities.

## When NOT to use litgpt

- If you need a tool specifically optimized for resource-constrained devices, as LitGPT focuses on high-performance LLMs and may require more resources.
- When your project is strictly limited to only one or two types of specific LLMs; in this case, another specialized framework that caters narrowly might be preferable.
