Choose FastEdit if…
- FastEdit is primarily Python; aikit is Go.
- License: FastEdit is Apache-2.0, aikit 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, falcon, large language models.
- 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 aikit if…
- aikit is primarily Go; FastEdit is Python.
- License: aikit is MIT, FastEdit is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to aikit: ai, buildkit, docker, fine-tuning.
- Also covers Inference & Serving, Model Training.
- aikit ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- - 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.
