JAKARTA - Meta's open source Llama model is increasingly being used, now opening Llama, for government agencies and contractors working on US national security.

To provide it to government agencies, Meta partnered with companies including Accenture Federal Services, Amazon Web Services, Anduril, Booz Allen, Databricks, Deloitte, IBM, Leidos, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Oracle, Palantir, Scale AI, and Snowflake.

The use of Llama can not only support the prosperity and security of the United States, but will also help set US open source standards in the global race for AI leadership.

As an American company, Meta wants to play its role in supporting the safety, security, and economic prosperity of America as well as its closest ally, the tech giant wrote on its blog.

Thanks to its ability to process large amounts of data, situate, and produce usable insights, Llama is said to be able to support many aspects of America's national safety and security.

"This model can help simplify complicated logistics and planning, track terrorist funding, or strengthen our cyber defenses," Meta continued.

In addition, with open source systems, Meta hopes to help accelerate defense research and high-level computing, identify security vulnerabilities, and improve communication between different systems.

Not only for the US, the Bloomberg Report states that Meta also provides similar access to Llama to governments and contractors in the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
