Validate activity before betting a new project on EmotiVoice. - 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. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between llm-course and EmotiVoice? llm-course: Course to get into Large Language Models (LLMs) with roadmaps and Colab notebooks..
