Choose CodeT5 if…
- License: CodeT5 is BSD-3-Clause, CodeGeeX is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to CodeT5: code-intelligence, code-understanding, language-model, large language models.
- Also covers Developer Tools.
- When focusing on Python projects needing advanced code understanding or generation.
When NOT to use CodeT5
- If the project requires proprietary licensing protection, given its open-source nature under BSD-3-Clause.
- Avoid if real-time performance is a crucial requirement since LLMs typically lag in speed.
Choose CodeGeeX if…
- License: CodeGeeX is Apache-2.0, CodeT5 is BSD-3-Clause.
- Tags unique to CodeGeeX: ai programming tools, pretrained-models.
- Also covers Model Training.
- When you require support for multilingual code generation and your project has a Python-based infrastructure with CUDA GPU availability.
When NOT to use CodeGeeX
- If your development environment lacks the necessary dependencies like Python 3.7+, CUDA 11+, PyTorch 1.10+, and DeepSpeed 0.6+.
- In scenarios where an open-source solution is not preferable or when support for exclusively one language's syntax is sufficient.
