When NOT to use P-tuning-v2
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid using P-tuning v2 when you have large-scale datasets and model architectures, as it might not be as effective compared to full fine-tuning methods.
- If your project requires a high level of customization beyond prompt tuning or continuous prompts do not align with the problem complexity.
