- When you need to fine-tune models like LLAMA2 or Mistral efficiently using low-code methods
When NOT to use ludwig
- If your Python version is below 3.12, as Ludwig requires at least this version
- When you prefer to write extensive manual code for model training rather than leverage a low-code solution
Choose lingvo if…
- Tags unique to lingvo: asr, machine-translation, nlp, research.
- Also covers Speech & Audio.
- When needing flexibility to modify framework code or develop new custom ops.
When NOT to use lingvo
- If simplicity of installation is prioritized over modifiable framework code.
- For projects that do not require TensorFlow-based advanced model customization.
