Choose RAG-FiT if…

  • Tags unique to RAG-FiT: evaluation, fine-tuning, llm, nlp.
  • Also covers Data & Retrieval.
  • More recently updated (last pushed Jun 8, 2026).

When NOT to use RAG-FiT

  • LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
  • Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.
  • Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers.

When NOT to use llm-course
