Meta, the company behind Facebook, is sharing its open-source Llama AI models with US defense agencies and contractors to help with national security and keep the US ahead in the AI race. Llama is a series of large language models (LLMs) that are designed to understand and make human-like text. These models can be used for important tasks like looking at data, translating languages, and creating content.
By sharing Llama with the US public sector, Meta wants to make sure America stays safe, secure, and prosperous. They also want to make sure the US is the leader in AI technology and follows ethical standards. Meta is working with companies like Oracle, Lockheed Martin, and Amazon Web Services to improve processes in areas like logistics, cybersecurity, and planning.
Sharing Llama with these companies and government agencies will help the US be better in the global race for AI leadership.
