/ how it works /

Live in weeks, not months.

We assess your Malta organisation's compute infrastructure, data volume, latency requirements, and data governance constraints to determine the appropriate Llama model size, quantisation strategy, and deployment architecture. We evaluate whether on-premise, private cloud, or managed private hosting best fits your requirements.

We select the appropriate Llama model variant — Llama 3.1 8B for resource-constrained deployments, 70B for balanced capability, or 405B for maximum capability — and apply appropriate quantisation (GGUF, GPTQ, AWQ) to fit your available GPU or CPU hardware while minimising capability loss.

We deploy the selected Llama model on your infrastructure using the appropriate runtime: llama.cpp for CPU or mixed CPU/GPU inference, vLLM for high-throughput GPU serving, Ollama for developer and low-volume deployments, or Text Generation Inference for production Hugging Face-ecosystem deployments. We configure batching, caching, and concurrency for your usage patterns.

If fine-tuning is required, we prepare your Malta organisation's training data in the correct instruction-tuning format, run QLoRA fine-tuning on appropriate GPU infrastructure, evaluate the fine-tuned model against baseline and holdout sets, and merge LoRA adapters into deployable model weights.

For knowledge-base applications, we implement the document ingestion pipeline, configure the embedding model and vector store, design the retrieval strategy, and integrate retrieval with Llama generation — all within your private infrastructure.

We deploy an OpenAI-compatible API layer in front of your Llama serving infrastructure, configure authentication, set up request logging and tracing, and implement monitoring for model health, throughput, latency, and queue depth. We provide runbooks for ongoing infrastructure management.

Meta Llama AI FAQ

What is Meta Llama and why is it different from cloud AI models?
Meta Llama is an open-source large language model family released by Meta — available as downloadable model weights you can run on your own hardware, rather than a cloud API you access via HTTP. The key differences are data privacy (your data never leaves your infrastructure), cost model (fixed infrastructure costs rather than per-token API fees), and customisation flexibility (you can fine-tune and modify the model freely). For Malta organisations with data privacy, cost, or customisation requirements that cloud APIs cannot address, Llama is the primary alternative.
How capable is Llama compared to GPT-4o and Claude?
Llama 3.1 405B, Meta's largest model, is broadly competitive with GPT-4o and Claude Sonnet on most benchmarks — a remarkable achievement for an open-source model. Smaller Llama variants (8B, 70B) are less capable than frontier closed models but significantly more capable than older open-source models, and more than sufficient for many Malta business applications like document summarisation, question answering, and classification. The capability gap is smaller than many organisations expect.
What hardware does Llama require to run?
Hardware requirements depend on model size and quantisation. Llama 3.1 8B runs on a single consumer GPU (16GB VRAM) or even high-spec CPU hardware with quantisation. 70B requires multiple high-end GPUs (e.g., 2-4x A100 or H100). 405B requires substantial multi-GPU infrastructure. For Malta organisations without existing GPU servers, Neural AI advises on appropriate GPU cloud infrastructure or dedicated hardware procurement depending on your volume and latency requirements.
Is fine-tuning Llama necessary for Malta business applications?
Fine-tuning is not required for most Malta Llama deployments — well-engineered prompts handle the majority of business use cases without model training. Fine-tuning adds significant value when your application requires consistent output in a specific format not achievable through prompting, when your domain has specialised terminology the base model handles poorly, or when you have thousands of task-specific examples that can meaningfully shift model behaviour. Neural AI assesses whether fine-tuning is genuinely warranted for your requirements.
Can Llama handle Maltese language?
Llama models are primarily trained on English with significant multilingual capability for major European languages. Maltese, as a lower-resource language, is handled with less capability than English — the model understands Maltese but may produce lower quality outputs compared to English inputs. For Malta applications requiring Maltese-language capability, we test performance on representative samples and advise on whether prompting strategies, fine-tuning on Maltese data, or English-first design better fits your requirements.
What ongoing support is required for a self-hosted Llama deployment?
Self-hosted Llama requires infrastructure maintenance (OS updates, GPU driver management, runtime version management), model updates when new Llama versions release, monitoring of serving performance, and capacity management as usage grows. Neural AI provides ongoing managed support for Malta Llama deployments, handling technical maintenance so your team focuses on using the AI capability rather than maintaining the infrastructure.
