Meta is making its open source AI model, Llama, available to U.S. government agencies for use in defense and national security applications.
Meta’s Llama models are becoming more popular every day because of their open-source nature. They are already used by a broad community of developers, researchers, and government bodies worldwide. Today, Meta announced that it is making Llama available to U.S. government agencies, including those working on defense and national security applications, and external contractors supporting their defense and national security work.
Meta has partnered with several companies, including Accenture Federal Services, Amazon Web Services, Anduril, Booz Allen, Databricks, Deloitte, IBM, Leidos, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Oracle, Palantir, Scale AI, and Snowflake, to bring Llama to U.S. government agencies in various ways.
For example, Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure will host Llama models for government agencies on their secure cloud solutions designed for sensitive data.
