Choose llm-course if…
- Requirements: Course materials are available in Colab notebooks; access requires a Google account.
- Tags unique to llm-course: colab-notebooks, machine-learning, course, large-language-models.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability, Inference & Serving.
- - When you want a comprehensive roadmap for understanding large language models including fundamental knowledge
When NOT to use llm-course
- - If you only require a quick introduction to LLMs without deep dive into core components
- - When you prefer working directly with commercial platforms that provide complete services rather than following detailed steps on building and deploying models yourself through this course's open,DI
Choose flappy if…
- Tags unique to flappy: llama, llm, rewoo, rust.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (10).
When NOT to use flappy
- flappy is archived on GitHub. Prefer an active alternative unless you maintain a private fork or need a frozen dependency.
- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Model Training: Try prompting and RAG first; fine-tuning is the answer to style/format, not missing knowledge.
