Llama

Definitions

1. Llama is an open-weight family of large language models from Meta. It is commonly used for self-hosted chat, summarization, and fine-tuned assistants, where teams need predictable behavior under real workloads rather than toy examples. Practitioners pay attention to parameter count, context length, and inference cost, because those factors usually determine whether the approach improves quality, latency, reliability, or operating cost in production.

   In plain English: Llama is an AI concept teams use to train models, guide predictions, or make model behavior more reliable and easier to control in practice.

   Example: "We evaluated Llama in the new model pipeline because the baseline was plateauing; once it was wired into training and evaluation, quality improved enough to justify rolling it into the next release."
