When it fits — and when it doesn’t

A good fit for

  • Teams needing to deploy multiple high-performance LLMs at scale

  • Developers looking for a self-hosted solution without cloud dependency

  • Researchers who require flexibility and control over their models

Look elsewhere if

  • Projects with strict budget constraints, as it requires significant hardware investment

  • Teams requiring real-time model updates or low-latency inference

Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

  1. 01

    Limited language support beyond English

    Most models are trained primarily on English datasets with limited multilingual capabilities

  2. 02

    Expensive at scale due to high compute requirements

    Pretraining and fine-tuning large models requires significant GPU resources, leading to higher costs

What it does well

  • Over 20 high-performance language models

  • Recipes for pretraining and finetuning

  • Scalable deployment options

  • Self-hosted solution
