We’re thrilled that Meta has now launched the Llama API in full. Specifically, this new tool is intended to give developers the ability to more easily develop and fine-tune the Llama series of AI models.

Enterprises will be able to access Llama models hosted by Meta, instead of downloading and running the models for themselves.

In mid-March, Meta said that its “open” AI model family, Llama, hit 1 billion downloads, up from 650 million downloads as of early December 2024. On Tuesday at its inaugural LlamaCon developer conference, Meta revealed that figure has reached 1.2 billion downloads.
