Language models
Open weightsLlama for businesses
Llama is a family of open language models from Meta, whose weights are freely available under the Llama Community License. We use Llama models via the IONOS AI Model Hub from German data centers – such as Llama 3.3 70B for more demanding tasks and Llama 3.1 8B for simple tasks.

What it is not meant for
The Llama license is not a classic open source license: "Built with Llama" must be displayed when distributed, derivative models must start with "Llama", Meta's usage policy applies, and very large providers need a special license. This is easy to handle for internal use; for products that you pass on, the requirements should be checked.
