Choose rag-demystified if…

  • Tags unique to rag-demystified: vector-database, llm, ai, question-answering.
  • Use when you want an in-depth understanding and customization of the RAG pipeline as it is built from scratch, enabling a deep dive into implementation details.
  • Leaner open-issue backlog (2).

When NOT to use rag-demystified

  • Not suitable for those needing out-of-the-box solutions or users who prefer using pre-configured RAG tools as it requires detailed coding knowledge.
  • Avoid if the project timeline is tight since building and customizing from scratch can be time-consuming compared to other available pre-built options.

Choose ChatGLM-6B if…

  • Tags unique to ChatGLM-6B: python.
  • Also covers Vector Databases.
  • More GitHub stars (41k vs 858) - visibility, not fit.

When NOT to use ChatGLM-6B

  • Last GitHub push was 745 days ago (dormant maintenance, Jun 27, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on ChatGLM-6B.
  • LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
  • Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough.
  • Vector Databases: Don't reach for a dedicated vector DB under ~100k vectors; pgvector on your existing Postgres is simpler to operate.
