Failed-ML vs LLMs-from-scratch

Common questions

What is the difference between Failed-ML and LLMs-from-scratch?

Failed-ML: Compilation of high-profile real-world examples of failed machine learning projects. LLMs-from-scratch: Implement a ChatGPT-like LLM in PyTorch from scratch, step by step. See the comparison table for live GitHub stats and shared categories.

When should I choose Failed-ML over LLMs-from-scratch?

Choose Failed-ML over LLMs-from-scratch when License: Failed-ML is MIT, LLMs-from-scratch is Other; Tags unique to Failed-ML: classification, computer-vision, data-engineering, data-quality; Also covers Computer Vision.

When should I choose LLMs-from-scratch over Failed-ML?

Choose LLMs-from-scratch over Failed-ML when License: LLMs-from-scratch is Other, Failed-ML is MIT; Tags unique to LLMs-from-scratch: attention mechanism, finetuning, from-scratch, generative-ai; - You are an advanced practitioner aiming to fully understand the underpinnings of LLMs using PyTorch as your primary framework.

When should I avoid Failed-ML?

Last GitHub push was 758 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jun 14, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on Failed-ML. 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.

When should I avoid LLMs-from-scratch?

- If you are looking for a rapid deployment of an LLM without understanding its intricate structure - this tool requires extensive manual and conceptual work. - You prefer frameworks with automatic model generation or other high-level abstractions that simplify the process. This repository emphasizes manual creation, which is more time-consuming but offers丰 a deeper learning experience.

Is Failed-ML or LLMs-from-scratch more popular on GitHub?

LLMs-from-scratch has more GitHub stars (98,899 vs 753). Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints.

Are Failed-ML and LLMs-from-scratch open source?

Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (Failed-ML: MIT, LLMs-from-scratch: Other).
