What Llama does in sales & outreach

Core tasks in sales & acquisition
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 raises 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 sales & outreach.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Prospect data remains personal data: cold outreach with AI must still comply with the GDPR and the ban on spam. Pay attention to where recorded sales calls are processed.

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.
