## Choose when

### Choose peft if…

- peft is primarily Python; Jackrong-llm-finetuning-guide is Jupyter Notebook.
- Tags unique to peft: adapter, diffusion, lora, parameter-efficient-learning.
- When you need to fine-tune large language models but are constrained by compute resources or want to avoid overfitting.

### Choose Jackrong-llm-finetuning-guide if…

- Jackrong-llm-finetuning-guide is primarily Jupyter Notebook; peft is Python.
- Requirements: Requires Python environment setup for PyTorch and Jupyter Notebook familiarity..
- Tags unique to Jackrong-llm-finetuning-guide: dataset, deepseek, llama3, machine-learning.
- You are specifically working with or planning to work with LLaMA3 or Qwen models, which this guide exclusively supports.
