Llama Deployment in Cardiff
Deploying Llama models for Cardiff 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 Cardiff
Wales
Cardiff has a significant broadcast and media sector alongside a large public-sector presence, and Welsh-language provision is a genuine requirement on public-facing work here rather than a nice-to-have.
Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option.

Llama Deployment in Cardiff — 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 Cardiff?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Cardiff and the surrounding Cardiff area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cardiff businesses do you usually work with?
- Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option. Beyond that we work across Media & Broadcasting, Financial Services, Public Sector, Higher Education and Sport.
- Do you cover the areas around Cardiff?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Bristol, Swansea. Cardiff is an urban area of roughly 490,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cardiff region rather than the city boundary alone.
