Choose LLM-RLHF-Tuning if…
- Tags unique to LLM-RLHF-Tuning: fine-tuning, language-model, llama, llm.
- Also covers LLM Frameworks.
- When you need to fine-tune LLMS using PEFT methods such as SFT+RM+PPO+DPO alongside LoRA.
When NOT to use LLM-RLHF-Tuning
- Avoid if your project only requires basic finetuning without the need for advanced techniques like PEFT or LoRA.
- Not suitable if you require a tool that supports other specific fine-tuning methods not covered by this framework.
Choose OpenRLHF if…
- Pricing: OpenRLHF is primarily available free of cost under the Apache-2.0 license, but users might incur costs based on their infrastructure usage for distributed training setups (e.g., cloud GPU instances)..
- Tags unique to OpenRLHF: large language models, proximal-policy-optimization, raylib, transformers.
- Also covers Inference & Serving.
- When you require high-throughput sample generation with minimal idle time on limited hardware due to its hybrid engine scheduling that enables sharing of GPU resources between models and vLLM engines.
When NOT to use OpenRLHF
- If your project does not require distributed training or large-scale model parameters (above 70B), as OpenRLHF is specifically optimized for scenarios where efficient distribution across multiple GPUs
- When your environment cannot support Ray or vLLM, as these are crucial components of the framework for scheduling and high-performance sample generation, respectively.
- If minimal Docker setup and hardware requirements with GPU constraints are not acceptable in your scenario.
