Llama Stack defines and standardizes the core building blocks that simplify AI application development. It codified best practices across the Llama ecosystem. More specifically, it provides
|
|
|
|
- **Unified API layer** for Inference, RAG, Agents, Tools, Safety, Evals, and Telemetry.
|
|
- **Plugin architecture** to support the rich ecosystem of implementations of the different APIs in different environments like local development, on-premises, cloud, and mobile.
|
|
- **Prepackaged verified distributions** which offer a one-stop solution for developers to get started quickly and reliably in any environment
|
|
- **Multiple developer interfaces** like CLI and SDKs for Python, Typescript, iOS, and Android
|
|
- **Standalone applications** as examples for how to build production-grade AI applications with Llama Stack

### Llama Stack Benefits
|
|
- **Flexible Options**: Developers can choose their preferred infrastructure without changing APIs and enjoy flexible deployment choice.
|
|
- **Consistent Experience**: With its unified APIs Llama Stack makes it easier to build, test, and deploy AI applications with consistent application behavior.
|
|
- **Robust Ecosystem**: Llama Stack is already integrated with distribution partners (cloud providers, hardware vendors, and AI-focused companies) that offer tailored infrastructure, software, and services for deploying Llama models.
|
|
|
|
By reducing friction and complexity, Llama Stack empowers developers to focus on what they do best: building transformative generative AI applications.

### Distributions
|
|
|
|
A Llama Stack Distribution (or "distro") is a pre-configured bundle of provider implementations for each API component. Distributions make it easy to get started with a specific deployment scenario - you can begin with a local development setup (eg. ollama) and seamlessly transition to production (eg. Fireworks) without changing your application code. Here are some of the distributions we support:
