## Choose when

### Choose transformers if…

- transformers is primarily Python; Jackrong-llm-finetuning-guide is Jupyter Notebook.
- Requirements: Min 4 GB RAM; Works with Python 3.10+ and PyTorch 2.4+.
- Tags unique to transformers: audio, deep-learning, natural-language-processing, pretrained models.
- Also covers Computer Vision, Inference & Serving, Speech & Audio.
- The library excels in scenarios where you need highly optimized and pre-trained models available for a wide range of data types including text, vision, audio, and multimodal inputs.

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

- Jackrong-llm-finetuning-guide is primarily Jupyter Notebook; transformers is Python.
- Tags unique to Jackrong-llm-finetuning-guide: dataset, deepseek, fine-tuning, guide.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (10).

## When NOT to use transformers

- If the specific task or dataset size does not benefit from state-of-the-art models due to computational inefficiency or overfitting, alternatives may be more suitable.
- It might not be the best choice for projects that strictly require compatibility with frameworks other than PyTorch and Python versions older than 3.10.

## When NOT to use Jackrong-llm-finetuning-guide

- 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.
