Llama is Meta's family of open-weight large language models, which can be self-hosted or run through third-party hosting providers rather than only through a single vendor API.
At a Glance
Key Capabilities
- Open-weight models like Llama support the same broad category of tasks as hosted proprietary models — conversation, generation, reasoning and tool use — with the added ability to be fine-tuned or run in a client-controlled environment.
How Cortex Uses It
Cortex Texas AI evaluates open-weight models such as Llama when a project has specific data-residency, cost-at-scale or fine-tuning requirements that make a self-hosted or dedicated deployment preferable to a shared API.
