Meta Platforms Inc. (META) is making its open-source Llama AI models available to US government agencies for national security and defense applications. This move signifies a major expansion of Llama’s authorized use and positions Meta as a key player in the global AI race. The company is partnering with major government contractors and technology firms, including Amazon Web Services, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Oracle, and Palantir Technologies, to implement Llama across various defense initiatives.

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has criticized Meta Platforms for labeling its Llama AI models as ‘open-source,’ raising concerns about transparency and control. While Meta promotes Llama as a key player in the open-source AI space, experts argue that its restrictions on experimentation and development processes undermine the true essence of open-source technology.

Meta Platforms is reportedly building a massive AI supercomputer, powered by over 100,000 NVIDIA H100 AI GPUs, to train the next version of its Llama language model. This supercomputer, located in the US, is expected to be fully operational by October or November, representing a significant investment in artificial intelligence and cutting-edge technology.
