When NOT to use Baichuan-7B
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If the application primarily deals with languages other than English and Chinese, as Baichuan-7B's training has been focused on these two languages.
- When a model smaller than 7-billion parameters is sufficient for the use case, especially if reducing inference time or resource consumption is more critical.
