What Llama does in interior design

Core tasks in interior design
Where Llama is strong
  • Open weights, fully self-hostable
  • Fine-tunable on your own data
  • Very large context window (Scout 10M)
  • GPU-efficient (Mixture-of-Experts)

Llama has a specific GDPR concern. The Llama 4 Acceptable Use Policy prohibits the multimodal models for businesses headquartered in the EU. Dutch businesses therefore may not install the multimodal Llama 4 models themselves under the licence terms. Weigh this heavily before using it in interior design.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Client room photos are often personal data: they show the home and sometimes people, addresses or personal belongings. Check what happens to uploads in each tool. Coohom may use your uploads and outputs for model training without opt-out under its terms, RaumKI and Planner 5D use (anonymised) data for their own models, Gendo does so on the free plan and ReimagineHome only for its own models with opt-out. Archicad AI Visualizer and Veras say they do not use your data for training, RoomSketcher only with your permission. Many tools process images in the US or Asia (Coohom and Homestyler mention China). For client photos, obtain consent, remove identifiable details and choose a tool with a data processing agreement for project data.

Self-hosting gives full data control within your own EU infrastructure, a strong GDPR argument.

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
