Llama Fine-Tuning in Northampton
Fine-tuning Llama models for Northampton organisations, where adapters change the economics. Training a small set of additional weights rather than the whole model brings the cost down enormously, keeps the artefact small enough to swap per task, and leaves the base model intact underneath so it can be replaced later.
Why this comes up
The problem
A full fine-tune was budgeted, the hardware cost is prohibitive, and the same result was available for a fraction of it.
What you get
What we deliver
- Adapter-based tuning used unless there is a specific reason for a full run
- Training data curated for quality, since defects are learned faithfully
- A held-out evaluation set kept entirely separate from training material
- Base model comparison run first, to establish what tuning actually adds
- Multiple adapters where several narrow tasks share one base model
- Serving arrangements planned, as adapters affect how the model is loaded

Working in Northampton
East Midlands
Northampton sits at the centre of the UK's distribution network, and warehousing and logistics operators here tend to need stock, routing and fulfilment systems that talk to whatever the client's customers already use.
Warehousing and distribution work leads here: stock accuracy, routing, proof of delivery, and portals that let customers see their own inventory without phoning in.

Llama Fine-Tuning in Northampton — common questions
- What do adapters actually give us?
- Most of the benefit at a fraction of the cost. Training a small additional set of weights avoids updating the whole model, runs on far less hardware, and produces an artefact of a few hundred megabytes rather than a complete copy of the model.
- Can we tune for several tasks?
- Yes, and that is a genuine advantage. Separate adapters over one base model let you serve different behaviours without holding several full models in memory, which is both cheaper and simpler than the alternative.
- How much data do we need?
- Less than people expect, and it has to be good. A few hundred to a few thousand well-constructed examples typically outperform a larger set assembled loosely, because inconsistencies in the data are learned exactly as reliably as the intended behaviour.
- Should we tune before trying prompting?
- No. Establish what a well-prompted base model achieves first, because that is the benchmark tuning has to beat — and often it already meets the requirement, which saves the training, the serving complexity and the retraining later.
- Do you work with businesses across Northamptonshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Northampton and the surrounding Northamptonshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Northampton businesses do you usually work with?
- Warehousing and distribution work leads here: stock accuracy, routing, proof of delivery, and portals that let customers see their own inventory without phoning in. Beyond that we work across Logistics & Distribution, Footwear & Leather, Motorsport, Financial Services and Retail.
- Do you cover the areas around Northampton?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Milton Keynes, Leicester, Coventry, Cambridge. Northampton is an urban area of roughly 245,000+, and we take on work across the wider Northamptonshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
