Llama Deployment in Cambridge
Deploying Llama models for Cambridge organisations, starting with the licence rather than the hardware. These are open-weight models under their own terms rather than a standard open source licence — there are acceptable use provisions and conditions that attach at scale, and the terms are worth reading before a product depends on them.
Why this comes up
The problem
The model was adopted as open source, the licence is a bespoke community licence, and nobody has read the conditions.
What you get
What we deliver
- Licence terms reviewed against your intended use and expected scale
- Model size chosen against the hardware you can realistically afford to run
- Quantisation assessed, with quality measured rather than assumed acceptable
- Serving stack selected for your concurrency, not just to get it running
- Attribution and naming requirements observed where the licence imposes them
- Cost per thousand requests compared against a hosted equivalent

Working in Cambridge
East of England
Cambridge has the densest deep-tech and biotech cluster in the country, so briefs here are frequently technical from the first conversation and the interesting problems are rarely the obvious ones.
Deep-tech and biotech clients bring genuinely technical briefs, often involving data pipelines, instrumentation or research tooling.

Llama Deployment in Cambridge — common questions
- Is Llama open source?
- Open weight rather than open source in the strict sense. The licence permits a great deal, including commercial use, and it carries acceptable use provisions and conditions that engage above a scale threshold — none of which is onerous, and all of which is worth confirming.
- How do we choose a size?
- By testing the smallest that passes your evaluation. Larger models cost more to serve at every request, and teams routinely deploy something considerably bigger than their task requires because the benchmarks favoured it on problems they do not have.
- Why self-host at all?
- Data control, predictable cost at high volume, or the ability to run somewhere without external connectivity. Below sustained heavy use, a hosted equivalent is usually cheaper once the hardware and the engineering time are counted honestly.
- Does quantisation hurt quality?
- Somewhat, and how much depends on the model and the task. It should be measured on your own evaluation set rather than accepted on reputation, because the difference between acceptable and noticeable varies more than general advice suggests.
- Do you work with businesses across Cambridgeshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including Cambridge and the surrounding Cambridgeshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cambridge businesses do you usually work with?
- Deep-tech and biotech clients bring genuinely technical briefs, often involving data pipelines, instrumentation or research tooling. Beyond that we work across Technology, Life Sciences, Research, Higher Education and Biotech.
- Do you cover the areas around Cambridge?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including Norwich, Milton Keynes, London, Northampton. Cambridge is an urban area of roughly 150,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cambridgeshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
