When NOT to use Video-LLaMA
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Do not use when the primary focus is on languages other than English and Chinese, as the model's representation capabilities outside these languages might be limited.
- Avoid using Video-LLaMA if you require real-time audio processing in a deployment environment that does not support Vicuna-7B audio branch currently running on A10-24G GPUs.
