Llama 4 + SafePipe

Meta•256,000 tokens•<30ms latency

Llama 4 is Meta's latest open-weight model, competitive with proprietary alternatives. Being open-source, it can theoretically be self-hosted in EU, but cloud APIs still use US infrastructure.

Quick Start

integration.ts
import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: "sp_your_key",
  baseURL: "https://api.safepipe.eu/v1"
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "llama-4-405b",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "..." }]
});

The GDPR Challenge

Llama 4 continues Meta's commitment to open AI. The model matches or exceeds many proprietary models while being freely available. The open-weight nature allows EU self-hosting for true data sovereignty, but this requires significant GPU infrastructure. Most organizations use cloud-hosted APIs (Together, Groq, Fireworks) which process in the US.

Without SafePipe

  • ×Cloud-hosted Llama APIs process data in US
  • ×Self-hosting requires massive GPU infrastructure
  • ×Together AI, Groq, Fireworks lack EU data centers

With SafePipe

  • ✓Open-source transparency on model behavior
  • ✓Potential for EU self-hosting (with infrastructure)
  • ✓SafePipe enables GDPR-compliant cloud Llama usage

FAQ

If Llama is open-source, why do I need SafePipe?

Open-source refers to the model weights being public, not the infrastructure. Unless you self-host in EU (requiring massive GPU resources), using cloud APIs means US data processing. SafePipe makes these APIs GDPR-compliant.

Can I self-host Llama 4 in the EU?

Technically yes, but Llama 4 405B requires approximately 800GB of GPU memory. For most organizations, SafePipe with cloud APIs is more practical.

Which Llama API provider should I use?

We support all major hosts: Together AI (balanced), Groq (fastest), Fireworks (flexible). SafePipe works identically with all of them.
