## Choose when

### Choose Liger-Kernel if…

- Liger-Kernel is primarily Python; LLMForEverybody is Jupyter Notebook.
- License: Liger-Kernel is BSD-2-Clause, LLMForEverybody is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to Liger-Kernel: llms, llama, mistral, gemma2.

### Choose LLMForEverybody if…

- LLMForEverybody is primarily Jupyter Notebook; Liger-Kernel is Python.
- License: LLMForEverybody is Apache-2.0, Liger-Kernel is BSD-2-Clause.
- Tags unique to LLMForEverybody: llm, interview-practice, learnllm, jupyter notebook.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- If you are preparing for job interviews in the field of LLMs or related technologies and want access to practical questions and answers.

## When NOT to use Liger-Kernel

- 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 NOT to use LLMForEverybody

- If your learning preference leans towards a different language or if the Chinese-specific resources don't align with your needs.
- For individuals looking for comprehensive open-source tools or frameworks to build upon directly; this is more about educational content than concrete implementations.
