Make Llama Your Own

Llama's open ecosystem allows for customization and integration with various services:

Inference

Users can choose between real-time and batch inference services. Downloadable model weights provide further cost optimization per token, giving users flexibility in managing their resources and budgets.

Fine-tune, Distill & Deploy

Llama 3.1 allows for model adaptation, improvement with synthetic data, and deployment options ranging from on-premise to cloud environments. This flexibility ensures Llama can be tailored to specific applications and integrated into existing workflows.

RAG & Tool Use

Leveraging Llama's system components, users can extend the model's capabilities through zero-shot tool use and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). This enables the creation of agentic behaviors, allowing Llama to interact with and retrieve information from external sources, thereby enhancing its knowledge base and problem-solving abilities.

Synthetic Data Generation

The 405B model's ability to generate high-quality synthetic data allows for the improvement of specialized models. This is particularly beneficial for niche use cases where real-world data might be scarce. By generating synthetic data, users can train and refine their models for specific tasks, improving their accuracy and performance.

Model Pricing

Llama 3.1 offers a range of pricing options through various partners, including AWS, Azure, Databricks, and more. Pricing varies based on model size, usage (input/output tokens), and the chosen platform. This makes Llama accessible to a wide range of users, from individuals to large organizations, by providing flexible pricing structures that align with their specific needs and budget constraints.
