Events sectorLlama for the events industry
Meta's natively multimodal, open-weight Mixture-of-Experts family (Scout and Maverick), free to download and self-host.
Llama isn't on our list for the events industry. Usable for general work, but first look at the options we recommend for the events industry.
- GDPR profileOur summary of what the provider itself publishes about your data: EU hosting possible, no training on your data for business use, and self-hosting available. Caution applies to a model with a documented problem, such as an investigation by a regulator. How we measure
- GDPR: Caution
- QualityQuality from blind duels on LMArena: users choose between two anonymous answers. A difference of about 20 points is noticeable, a few points is noise. How we measure

- Editorial scoreOur own assessment on 10 of suitability for professional work, price and privacy. This is a judgement, not a measurement; that is why it always sits alongside the Elo. How we measure

Llama has a concrete GDPR concern. The Llama 4 Acceptable Use Policy prohibits the multimodal models for businesses headquartered in the EU. Dutch companies therefore may not install the multimodal Llama 4 models themselves under the licence. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in the events sector.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionAttendee data (name, company, dietary requirements, payment details) is personal data under the GDPR. Only use platforms with a data processing agreement and preferably EU hosting. Automated matchmaking based on profile or behavioural data may be classed as profiling, be transparent and ask for consent. Never put attendee lists into a consumer version of a chatbot.
Self-hosting gives full data control within your own EU infrastructure, a strong GDPR argument.
