When NOT to use chatllm.cpp
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid if your preferred development environment is centered around high-level languages such as Python, where alternatives like Transformers are robust and well-supported.
- Not suitable for projects that require a wide array of pre-trained models not provided by chatllm.cpp itself, since it does not include model training functionalities.
