Meta's open-source large language model (LLM), Llama, has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing one billion downloads since its release in 2023. This achievement underscores the growing influence of Llama in the AI community, attracting both researchers and enterprises seeking to integrate it into various applications. The model's popularity has surged, with companies like Spotify, AT&T, and DoorDash adopting Llama-based models for production environments.

Meta views open sourcing AI models as crucial, with each download of Llama moving closer to this goal. However, Llama's widespread use hasn't been without its challenges, including copyright lawsuits alleging training on copyrighted books without permission. The company plans to introduce multimodal models and improved reasoning capabilities. Additionally, Meta has been working to incorporate innovations from competing models to enhance Llama's performance.
