About
Meta's family of open-source large language models — currently the Llama 4 generation (Scout and Maverick, natively multimodal, mixture-of-experts) — freely available for research and commercial use under the Llama license.
In-Depth Review
Meta Llama is a family of open-source large language models released by Meta AI, designed to make powerful AI accessible to researchers and developers. Unlike closed-source models from OpenAI or Anthropic, Llama models can be downloaded, fine-tuned, and deployed locally or in the cloud. Llama 3 (released 2024) and subsequent versions have matched or exceeded proprietary models on many benchmarks. Llama is the foundation for thousands of open-source projects, custom chatbots, and enterprise deployments, powering tools like Ollama, LM Studio, and many Hugging Face models.
