When should I avoid 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

When should I avoid Chain-of-ThoughtsPapers?

If your focus is on unrelated areas such as image processing or speech recognition, where chain-of-thought reasoning in LLMs does not directly play a role. For projects requiring immediate practical coding implementations — this repository primarily focuses on research and theoretical underpinnings rather than ready-to-use software libraries or codebases In scenarios necessitating alternative approaches to language model training which do not emphasize step-by-step reasoning, such as models trained purely for pattern recognition without emphasis on a what_is_missing
