Meta leads open-source AI boom, Llama downloads surge 10x year-over-year

Several enterprises are tapping Meta's Llama family of models, including AT&T, DoorDash, Goldman Sachs, Niantic, Zoom and KPMG.

It also noted that the adoption of the models has grown significantly – both via Hugging Face and distribution partners – with large enterprises like Zoom, Spotify, Infosys, AT&T and Goldman Sachs using them across internal and external use cases. The update shows that open-source AI, which was initially off to a slow start, is not only matching closed-source in terms of performance but also getting significant traction at the enterprise level, powering real applications. The company did not share partner-specific numbers but it did confirm that Llama’s monthly usage (by the volume of input/output tokens) grew ten-fold from January to July 2024 for select cloud service providers.
