When NOT to use LLM-Adapters
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- You require a full retraining approach that modifies all model weights, not just adapters
- Your project timeline does not allow for integrating and testing new methodologies from recent papers like EMNLP 2023
