Llama
Since 2023Meta's open-source LLM family
Meta's open-source LLM family — fine-tune and deploy for cost-effective, private AI solutions.
Overview
Llama democratized AI. I deploy Llama 3 via Ollama for production needing privacy or cost savings. Fine-tuning with LoRA adapters for domain tasks. Open weights mean full inspection, customization, and deployment control.
Use Cases
- Self-hosted inference

- content creation
Advantages
- Open-source
- competitive quality
- fine-tunable
- multiple sizes (8B-70B+)
- huge community
- Ollama support
Considerations
- Significant compute for large models
- fine-tuning needs GPU
- must self-host
- quality varies by task
