Abstract

This article presents a comprehensive and practical guide for practitioners and end-users working with Large Language Models (LLMs) in their downstream Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. We provide discussions and insights into the usage of LLMs from the perspectives of models, data, and downstream tasks. First, we offer an introduction and brief summary of current language models. Then, we discuss the influence of pre-training data, training data, and test data. Most importantly, we provide a detailed discussion about the use and non-use cases of large language models for various natural language processing tasks, such as knowledge-intensive tasks, traditional natural language understanding tasks, generation tasks, emergent abilities, and considerations for specific tasks. We present various use cases and non-use cases to illustrate the practical applications and limitations of LLMs in real-world scenarios. We also try to understand the importance of data and the specific challenges associated with each NLP task. Furthermore, we explore the impact of spurious biases on LLMs and delve into other essential considerations, such as efficiency, cost, and latency, to ensure a comprehensive understanding of deploying LLMs in practice. This comprehensive guide aims to provide researchers and practitioners with valuable insights and best practices for working with LLMs, thereby enabling the successful implementation of these models in a wide range of NLP tasks. A curated list of practical guide resources of LLMs, regularly updated, can be found at https://github.com/Mooler0410/LLMsPracticalGuide . An LLMs evolutionary tree, editable yet regularly updated, can be found at llmtree.ai .

TL;DR

This survey offers a practical guide for choosing and deploying large language models (LLMs) across NLP tasks, organized around models, data, downstream tasks, and deployment considerations. It argues that LLMs excel in generation, knowledge-intensive, out-of-distribution, and real-world scenarios, while fine-tuned models often remain preferable for traditional NLU, resource-rich or extremely low-resource translation, regression, and multimodal tasks.

Key findings

  • LLMs are generally superior for generation, knowledge-intensive QA, and generalization to out-of-distribution or noisy real-world inputs, but fine-tuned models often win on traditional NLU benchmarks with rich annotated data. For example, on CivilComments toxicity detection, even the best LLM was only better than random guessing, while fine-tuned models performed much better; on CoNLL03 NER, fine-tuned models performed around twice as well as LLMs.
  • Data availability shapes model choice: zero- and few-shot settings favor LLMs, while abundant annotated data can make fine-tuned models reasonable or preferable. Pretraining-data alignment matters; a 1.3B-parameter Transformer trained on 6B tokens of “textbook quality” web data plus 1B synthetic GPT-3.5 tokens achieved commendable code-generation performance.
  • Scaling improves many abilities, including reasoning, but is not uniformly beneficial: GPT-3’s two-digit addition only became apparent above 13B parameters, while inverse-scaling and U-shaped phenomena mean larger models can perform worse on some tasks. GPT-4 reached 86.5% on MMLU, 96.3% on ARC-C, and passed 25% of Leetcode problems.
  • Efficiency and trustworthiness are major practical constraints: GPT-3 175B required $4.6M for a single training run and 499B training tokens, T5 11B cost well over $1.3M, and PaLM training consumed about 3.4 GWh. Latency examples include GPT-J 6B inference times of 0.077 s, 0.203 s, and 0.707 s for max token sizes 2, 8, and 32, respectively.

Methods

  • Design: a comprehensive practical guide/survey, not a new empirical study; it synthesizes prior literature, benchmarks, and examples into use-case and no-use-case guidance for LLMs versus fine-tuned models.
  • Data or sample: no primary dataset or experiment is introduced; the paper draws on published results, benchmarks, and referenced systems such as GPT-3, GPT-4, PaLM, BLOOM, T5, BERT, and others.
  • Main analysis: qualitative synthesis organized by model architectures, pretraining/fine-tuning/test data, NLP task categories, scaling phenomena, efficiency, trustworthiness, safety, and practical challenges, summarized in a decision flow for choosing LLMs or fine-tuned models.

Limitations

  • Stated in the paper: real-world evaluation remains an open problem, and there is no massive systematic comparison between fine-tuned models and LLMs yet; predicting performance with scaling is also difficult, and challenges such as limited context length, inference latency, hallucinations, safety alignment, and harmful content remain unresolved.
  • Stated in the paper: in-context learning efficacy can vary with prompting template and the choice/order of examples, and its inner workings are not fully understood; LLM-based evaluators may also have a bias toward LLM-generated texts.
  • Evident from the text: as a survey, it does not report a systematic search strategy, inclusion criteria, or meta-analysis, and its recommendations are qualitative rather than validated by new controlled experiments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-10.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-10.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
