When should I avoid Chinese-LLaMA-Alpaca?

If your project requires models that are not specific to the Chinese language or do not benefit from Chinese-specific pre-training. When you need models that are not available in the sizes provided by Chinese-LLaMA-Alpaca, such as models smaller than 7B or larger than 33B. If you prefer models that are not based on LLaMA or Alpaca architectures.

When should I avoid Chinese-LLaMA-Alpaca-2?

If you need models that support languages other than Chinese, as this repository focuses on Chinese models. If you require models with shorter context lengths than 4K, as the standard models support 4K and the long context models support 16K and 64K. If you are looking for models that do not include human preference alignment (RLHF), as this repository includes models that have been fine-tuned for this purpose.
