Model family

Llama

Llama is a model family from Meta1, with 4 assessed releases in this catalog. Licenses and availability are recorded for each release, not for the family; its releases use the Llama 3.1 Community License Agreement and the Llama 4 Community License Agreement.

Llama is Meta's family of large language models. Meta's Llama models repository lists generations from Llama 2 (July 2023) through Llama 4 (April 2025), each with its own license file and acceptable use policy. Llama 4 is distributed under the custom Llama 4 Community License Agreement rather than a standard open-source license.1 3
