## Decision facts: FastDatasets

- **Adopt for:** FastDatasets is designed to aid in generating high-quality datasets for training Large Language Models (LLMs), leveraging Python capabilities.

## Choose when

### Choose Bert-Multi-Label-Text-Classification if…

- License: Bert-Multi-Label-Text-Classification is MIT, FastDatasets is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to Bert-Multi-Label-Text-Classification: albert, bert, fine-tuning, multi-label-classification.
- More GitHub stars (923 vs 219) - visibility, not fit.

### Choose FastDatasets if…

- License: FastDatasets is Apache-2.0, Bert-Multi-Label-Text-Classification is MIT.
- Tags unique to FastDatasets: asyncio, dataset-generation, datasets, llm.
- Also covers Data & Retrieval.
- - When you need to generate datasets specifically tailored to improve the performance of LLMs.

## When NOT to use Bert-Multi-Label-Text-Classification

- Last GitHub push was 1181 days ago (dormant maintenance, Apr 18, 2023). Validate activity before betting a new project on Bert-Multi-Label-Text-Classification.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.

## When NOT to use FastDatasets

- - Avoid using if the project does not involve training or fine-tuning LLMs as its primary objective.
- - If customization and flexibility are critical and your team prefers managing datasets manually for full control over each dataset creation process.
