META LLAMA · OPEN-WEIGHT

Llama when the weights must be yours.

Meta's open-weight Llama models run on your own infrastructure. We deploy and tune them when data residency, cost at scale, or control demand it.

[THE SHORT VERSION]

Control and privacy, at the cost of running it yourself.

Open-weight models like Llama let you keep data in-house, avoid per-token vendor pricing at scale, and customize freely. The trade is that you now operate inference: GPUs, serving, scaling, and updates. We help decide if that trade pays off, then run it properly.

When it fits
  • Strict data residency or privacy requirements
  • High-volume workloads where hosted per-token cost hurts
  • Customization or fine-tuning on your own data
When it does not
  • Low-volume needs better served by a hosted API
[HOW WE BUILD IT]

How we build with Llama.

01

Scope and fit

We decide where Llama earns its place in your system, and where a simpler tool wins. No resume-driven architecture.

02

Build on a tested foundation

We integrate Llama against a foundation we trust: typed code, CI, and observability from the first commit. Boring infrastructure, modern surface.

03

Eval before launch

An eval suite proves the build behaves before it reaches a user. We measure, then ship.

04

Handoff with ownership

Your team gets the code, the tests, and a runbook. No lock-in to us or to a vendor framework.
