Private AI for Business

Model decision / Llama

Llama is a model family, not a product. The business value is in the workflow around it.

Open-weight Llama variants can run on client-controlled infrastructure for search, drafting, and structured extraction. We confirm the current variant, licence, hardware, and quality before deployment, and keep the documents and retrieval index on the client's side.

When Llama makes sense

Control is the reason, not open source itself.

Llama is useful when the buyer wants an open-weight model on their own infrastructure, but the decision still depends on task, hardware, and licence.

01 / FIT

Match the task

Compare the model's quality, speed, and size against the workflow's documents and output needs.

02 / RUN

Scope the hardware

Confirm compute and memory for the chosen variant, users, and latency.

03 / PATH

Keep the boundary

Documents, retrieval, permissions, and logs stay on the client's environment.

The model boundary

The model is a component, not a compliance guarantee.

LICENCE

Current terms win

The licence and allowed use are confirmed against the official text before deployment.

QUALITY

Open weight is not automatic quality

The model is tested against the team's real questions and sources before go-live.

SWAP

The knowledge base stays portable

The retrieval index and workflow can move to another model without losing the corpus.

A first Llama decision

Start with the workflow, then the variant.

Name the output

Pick search, drafting, extraction, or classification with a clear success test.

Review the model

Confirm the current variant, licence, hardware, and quality against the task.

Build the grounded setup

Connect the client-owned corpus, retrieval, citations, and permissions.

Test and hand over

Run real questions, fix gaps, and deliver the runbook and support route.

Llama puts the model in your hands. The workflow decides whether that helps.

Why trust Pristine3D?

We build and operate production software.

Pristine3D Ltd builds and operates live digital products, and we run private AI workflows internally as part of our own operations. We scope around your real workflow: the documents you own, the questions your team asks, and the access boundary you approve. Based in Lagos, Nigeria, we work remotely with clients worldwide.

METHOD

We start with the actual workflow

One input, one output, one test set, and one person who owns the result. We scope a real workflow instead of a transformation programme.

OWNERSHIP

The boundary stays visible

Cloud, model, storage, and messaging accounts stay in your name. The chosen data path, access rules, test record, documentation, and training are part of the agreed scope.

Pricing / fixed scope

Know the starting numbers before you ask.

The final quote follows the workflow. Infrastructure and model bills stay on your accounts.

Annual support

Starting from
$3,000 / ₦1.5m
per year

Standard care for one delivered workflow. Optional. Larger deployments and active monitoring are separately scoped.

See support

Architecture review from $500. Standard annual support is $3,000 / ₦1.5m per year for one delivered workflow. New workflows, integrations, active monitoring, and infrastructure are separately scoped; infrastructure, model, storage, and messaging bills stay on client accounts.

Straight answers

Common questions.

Is Llama free to use?

Open weights do not mean free in every sense. The licence, hardware, support, and operational cost are reviewed before deployment.

Does it need a GPU?

Some variants run on CPU or modest hardware; larger variants need more memory or a GPU. We scope to the workflow.

Can we switch models later?

Yes. The documents, index, and workflow stay yours, so the model can be swapped without rebuilding the knowledge base.

Own your knowledge base

The model is not the product. The knowledge base is.

Documents, the retrieval index, access rules, and the workflows built around them are the asset, and they compound. We deploy so the knowledge base stays yours: on your accounts, in the environment you choose, under access rules your team defines. The model behind the answers is a connector, so the knowledge base moves with you, not with a vendor.

THE ASSET

Your corpus, your index

The document store, metadata, and retrieval setup live on accounts you own. No vendor holds the corpus.

THE LOCK-IN

Models are swappable parts

Change the model provider, move regions, or go local without rebuilding the knowledge base or the workflow.

THE ALPHA

The knowledge base is the alpha

Every improvement to the corpus improves the answers, and the improvement stays with you, not with a vendor.
