Llama

Llama (Large Language Model Meta AI) is the family of open-source language models released by Meta (the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp). Unlike proprietary models like GPT-4 or Gemini, Llama models are freely available for research and commercial use, allowing anyone to download, modify, and run them locally.

Definition

Llama 2 and Llama 3 reached performance levels competitive with commercial models on many benchmarks, democratizing access to powerful AI models. With Llama 4 (2025), Meta introduced a mixture-of-experts architecture and native multimodality built into training from the start, while staying within the same open-weight, freely downloadable philosophy. Thanks to projects like Ollama, it's possible to run Llama models on consumer hardware (even a mid-to-high-end laptop) without depending on cloud APIs.

For companies concerned about privacy and data sovereignty, Llama represents an important alternative: the data never leaves internal infrastructure. As with any other model, output quality depends on how the prompt is structured, the skills Grace teaches apply to Llama exactly as they do to any other LLM.
