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 LLM Frameworks, 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 gorilla if…
- Requirements: Gorilla works best with Python environments and requires installation through pip or local repository cloning..
- Tags unique to gorilla: llm, openai-functions, gpt-4-api, chatgpt.
- You should consider using Gorilla if you need a comprehensive framework for developing LLMs capable of leveraging external functions effectively.
When NOT to use gorilla
- Avoid Gorilla if your primary focus is not on function calling or tool usage capabilities for LLMs; another model-specific framework may better fit your needs.
- If the lack of a direct comparison tool to other models' function-calling performance is critical in your decision process, and you find no suitable alternatives listed on their leaderboard.
