Meta claims 1 billion downloads for Llama

The American giant sees its language model widely adopted, reaching a significant milestone of over 1 billion downloads!

In the AI sector, companies like OpenAI and Google have created chatbots similar to ChatGPT for users to access finished products. However, Meta has chosen a different strategy by developing a range of open-source language models called Llama, which appears to be a winning approach based on the numbers.

Meta's AI model Llama was already downloaded hundreds of millions of times last August, which fueled hopes for even greater success. The company recently announced, “Our open-source AI model, Llama, has been downloaded over 1 billion times,” marking a major achievement. They emphasized that “making AI open-source is essential for ensuring everyone worldwide has access to the benefits of AI,” highlighting their commitment to this goal despite concerns over potential military applications by Chinese researchers.
