When NOT to use filco
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your project does not require the use of Flan-T5 or LLaMA2 models for dialog generation, fact verification, or question answering.
- When you do not need to retrieve relevant Wikipedia passages using Dense Passage Retriever.
- If your project does not involve the use of preprocessed datasets with top-5 retrieved passages from Wikipedia.
