Meta says it’s making its Llama models available for US national security applications


Meta confirmed that it's making its Llama models available to U.S. government contractors for national security applications.

“We’re partnering with companies including Accenture, Amazon Web Services, Anduril, Booz Allen, Databricks, Deloitte, IBM, Leidos, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Oracle, Palantir, Scale AI and Snowflake to bring Llama to government agencies.” Chinese researchers including two affiliated with a PLA R&D group created a military-focused chatbot designed to gather and process intelligence as well as offer information for operational decision-making. Meta told Reuters in a statement that the use of the “single, and outdated” Llama model was “unauthorized” and contrary to its acceptable use policy.
