Choose FastEdit if…
- License: FastEdit is Apache-2.0, Awesome-LLM-Compression is MIT.
- Requirements: Min -1 GB RAM; Requires Python 3.8+ and PyTorch 1.13.1+. Must also install 🤗Transformers, Datasets, Accelerate, sentencepiece, and fire.; Hardware requirements for a specific model can vary; refer to the provided table for minimum RAM sizes for different models..
- Tags unique to FastEdit: bloom, chatbots, chatgpt, falcon.
- When rapid iterations on language model edits are necessary, such as testing and tuning with tight feedback loops.
When NOT to use FastEdit
- If your workflow requires integration with TensorFlow instead of PyTorch, since FastEdit is built on top of PyTorch.
- For hardware configurations that cannot meet the fast editing mode's requirements; for instance, if you have less than 24GB RAM available.
- If rapid edits within seconds are not a priority and longer processing times can be tolerated.
Choose Awesome-LLM-Compression if…
- License: Awesome-LLM-Compression is MIT, FastEdit is Apache-2.0.
- Requirements: The repository provides curated listings but does not develop its own software; hence specific language requirements are not applicable..
- Tags unique to Awesome-LLM-Compression: compression, efficiency, research papers, training acceleration.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- When you need to explore the latest advancements in LLM compression techniques and their impact on both training and inference.
When NOT to use Awesome-LLM-Compression
- Avoid relying solely on Awesome LLM-Compression if you require a hands-on toolset rather than theoretical frameworks and research papers, as it focuses more on consolidating the survey information.
- If your immediate need is for proprietary or commercial tools that offer out-of-the-box functionality, since this resource mainly links to academic research and open-source projects.
