Choose LlamaFactory if…
- Tags unique to LlamaFactory: deepseek, fine-tuning, gemma, gpt.
- When you need to fine-tune over 100 different LLMs or VLMs with efficient methods like LoRA or QLoRA.
- More GitHub stars (73k vs 845) - visibility, not fit.
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
Choose AI-Compass if…
- Tags unique to AI-Compass: llm, llm-inference, llm-training, nlp.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (1).
When NOT to use AI-Compass
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- 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.
