## Choose when

### Choose AI-Infra-from-Zero-to-Hero if…

- License: AI-Infra-from-Zero-to-Hero is MIT, peft is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to AI-Infra-from-Zero-to-Hero: llmsys, model-training, mlsys, genai.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- When you require detailed resource curation on ML systems and LLM infrastructures, as AI-Infra-from-Zero-to-Hero offers comprehensive information.

### Choose peft if…

- License: peft is Apache-2.0, AI-Infra-from-Zero-to-Hero is MIT.
- Tags unique to peft: fine-tuning, lora, llm, python.
- When you need to fine-tune large language models but are constrained by compute resources or want to avoid overfitting.

## When NOT to use AI-Infra-from-Zero-to-Hero

- If you seek real-time support or interactive forums, as AI-Infra-from-Zero-to-Hero is primarily a resource repository without live assistance.
- For hands-on coding exercises or practical projects as the tool focuses mostly on curating resources like tutorials and academic papers but does not provide step-by-step coding guides.

## When NOT to use peft

- If you require a tool that supports training from scratch, as PEFT is specifically designed for fine-tuning purposes only.
- When working on models where the full fine-tuning of all parameters is feasible or preferred due to ample compute resources and no concern over overfitting.
