Decision brief
LMFlow is an extensible Python toolkit for fine-tuning and inference on large foundation models with Gradio-based chatbot deployment.
Good fit when
- You require an extendable framework to fine-tune or conduct inference operations on large foundational models where a user-friendly chatbot UI can be integrated using Gradio.
- Your project necessitates the use of pre-trained language models paired with instruction following capabilities, and you are working within projects that benefit from an Apache-2.0 licensed toolkit.
Avoid when
- You do not need a Python-based solution for your large foundation model tasks, or if your projects specifically require languages other than Python.
- Your project requires commercial use with simplified authorization processes, since LMFlow demands signing a specific document to obtain authorization for commercial use.
