## Choose when

### Choose hallucination-index if…

- Tags unique to hallucination-index: hallucinations, llm-evaluation, rag, retrieval-augmented-generation.
- Use when you need to ensure accuracy in short-context tasks, as it tests models like Chain-of-Note prompting techniques specifically for such scenarios.
- Leaner open-issue backlog (1).

### Choose awesome-LLM-resources if…

- Tags unique to awesome-LLM-resources: awesome-list, book, course, llama.
- Also covers AI Agents, Developer Tools, Inference & Serving, LLM Frameworks, Model Training.
- - It's ideal when you seek an exhaustive and up-to-date compilation covering extensive knowledge points in LLM technologies.

## When NOT to use hallucination-index

- Avoid using Hallucination-Index when your application requires real-time evaluation of hallucinations, as it focuses on predefined tests rather than live model performance.
- Do not rely solely on this index if your primary concern is the latest updates to LLM models; its data might not reflect recent improvements in models or the introduction of new ones.

## When NOT to use awesome-LLM-resources

- - Avoid using this resource if you specifically need detailed step-by-step guides or hands-on tutorials that focus deeply on a single technology rather than broad coverage.
- - It might not be the best choice when you are looking for resources in languages other than English, especially given its extensive English content.
