Model Brief
Meta's open-weight model family, widely used for private deployments and community ecosystems.
Read full profile and timeline+
Llama is Meta's open-weight model family and one of the most influential forces in the open model ecosystem. It is widely used by companies, researchers, and community developers for private deployment, fine-tuning, distillation, quantization, local inference, edge devices, and open-source application stacks.
The key to understanding Llama is the ecosystem created by open weights: developers can build inference frameworks, quantization tools, fine-tuning recipes, datasets, and application templates around it. It gives more teams a way to use large models on their own devices or servers instead of relying entirely on closed platforms.
Timeline
Llama 2 and Llama 3 expanded the open-weight route, with 7B, 8B, 70B, and related sizes forming a large ecosystem of derivatives, tools, and deployment stacks for private AI.
Llama 4 pushes further into multimodality and stronger open-model capability. Meta's core strategy is to use open weights and broad distribution to grow a developer ecosystem around the Llama family.

It's Not What You Say, It's How You Say It: Evaluating LLM Responses to Expressions of Belief
Users frequently express their beliefs to large language models (LLMs). In some situations, the LLM should accept these contextual beliefs as true. In others, they should stick to their prior knowledge.
