Choose BMTrain if…
- Tags unique to BMTrain: apache-2.0 license, big model, fine-tuning, pre-training.
- BMTrain ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- Need efficient pre-training or fine-tuning of large scale models
When NOT to use BMTrain
- Seeking a tool that installs without compiling C/CUDA source code
- Require immediate setup; BMTrain's installation might be time-consuming due to compilation steps
Choose gorilla if…
- Requirements: Gorilla works best with Python environments and requires installation through pip or local repository cloning..
- Tags unique to gorilla: api, chatgpt, claude-api, gpt-4-api.
- Also covers Evaluation & Observability.
- 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.
