What Llama does in logistics

Core tasks in logistics
Where Llama is strong

  • 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 are therefore not permitted under the licence to install the multimodal Llama 4 models themselves. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in logistics.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Operational decisions have direct consequences; use AI as a tool with human oversight and make sure the source data is reliable.

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.
