Who is this best for?
This is the fastest way to decide whether Meta Llama is in the right neighborhood.
Best for
- Teams with strict deployment constraints (on-prem/VPC-only) or strong data-control requirements
- Organizations that can own inference ops and want vendor flexibility
- Cost-sensitive workloads where infra optimization is part of the strategy
- Products that benefit from domain adaptation and controlled deployments
Who should avoid
- You want the fastest path to production without infra ownership
- You can’t invest in evaluation, monitoring, and safety guardrails
- Your workload needs maximum out-of-the-box capability with minimal tuning
