Decision brief
Axolotl is a Python-based framework designed for fine-tuning LLMs, requiring NVIDIA or AMD GPUs, Python 3.11+, and PyTorch ≥2.11.0.
Good fit when
- When working with newer NVIDIA Ampere series GPUs or modern AMD GPUs to leverage `bf16` and Flash Attention.
- For users who need a quick start for LLM fine-tuning in minutes, provided they meet strict hardware dependencies.
Avoid when
- If you are constrained by older GPU models that do not support the required features like `bf16` or if your system does not have an NVIDIA or AMD GPU.
- In environments where Python version must be less than 3.11, as Axolotl requires at least Python 3.11 for operation.
- Requirements:
- Hardware requirement includes either NVIDIA (Ampere series or newer) or AMD GPUs.; Software requirements dictate the use of Python >=3.11, with version 3.12 recommended and PyTorch ≥2.11.0.
