Meta and Microsoft unite to release Llama 2, an open-source large language model. Major tech giants, Meta and Microsoft, have joined forces to launch Llama 2, an open-source large language model that will be available on Microsoft’s Windows and cloud computing platform Azure.

The partnership was announced to the public recently, with both companies revealing that Llama 2 will be free for research and commercial use. Additionally, they stated that the language model is optimized to operate on Windows.
As it was rumored last week, Llama 2 was expected to be developed for businesses and researchers using Meta’s AI technology kit. With the official announcement from Meta and Microsoft, these rumors have now been confirmed.
We believe an open approach is the right one for the development of today’s Al models.
Today, we’re releasing Llama 2, the next generation of Meta’s open source Large Language Model, available for free for research & commercial use.
