On open weightsWe’re introducing Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick, the first open-weight natively multimodal models with unprecedented context length support and our first built using a mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture.
The post says Scout and Maverick are “available for download today” on llama.com and Hugging Face, and: “While we’re not yet releasing Llama 4 Behemoth as it is still training, we’re excited to share more technical details about our approach.” It describes Behemoth as 288B active parameters, 16 experts, and nearly two trillion total parameters. The license states “Llama 4 Version Effective Date: April 5, 2025,” and the 700 million clause is keyed to “the Llama 4 version release date.” The acceptable-use policy is https://www.llama.com/llama4/use-policy.
If, on the Llama 4 version release date, the monthly active users of the products or services made available by or for Licensee, or Licensee’s affiliates, is greater than 700 million monthly active users in the preceding calendar month, you must request a license from Meta, which Meta may grant to you in its sole discretion, and you are not authorized to exercise any of the rights under this Agreement unless or until Meta otherwise expressly grants you such rights.
On open weightsincluding machine-learning model code, trained model weights, inference-enabling code, training-enabling code, fine-tuning enabling code
The license states “Llama 3.3 Version Release Date: December 6, 2024.” The 700 million monthly active user clause remains. The acceptable-use policy linked from the license is https://www.llama.com/llama3_3/use-policy. The llama-models README table lists Llama 3.3 as 12/04/2024.

On open weightsincluding machine-learning model code, trained model weights, inference-enabling code, training-enabling code, fine-tuning enabling code
The license states “Llama 3.2 Version Release Date: September 25, 2024.” No clause banning use of outputs to improve another large language model was found in this file. The 700 million monthly active user clause remains. The acceptable-use policy linked from the license is https://www.llama.com/llama3_2/use-policy. The llama-models README table lists Llama 3.2 and Llama 3.2-Vision on the same date.
If, on the Llama 3.2 version release date, the monthly active users of the products or services made available by or for Licensee, or Licensee’s affiliates, is greater than 700 million monthly active users in the preceding calendar month, you must request a license from Meta, which Meta may grant to you in its sole discretion, and you are not authorized to exercise any of the rights under this Agreement unless or until Meta otherwise expressly grants you such rights.
On open weightsWe’ve also made changes to our license, allowing developers to use the outputs from Llama models—including the 405B—to improve other models.
The license states “Llama 3.1 Version Release Date: July 23, 2024.” The ban on using outputs to improve another large language model is not in this file. Section 1.b.i allows use of the materials or outputs “to create, train, fine tune, or otherwise improve an AI model” when the name starts with “Llama” and “Built with Llama” is displayed. The 700 million monthly active user clause remains. The post says the models are available for download on llama.meta.com and Hugging Face.
If, on the Llama 3.1 version release date, the monthly active users of the products or services made available by or for Licensee, or Licensee’s affiliates, is greater than 700 million monthly active users in the preceding calendar month, you must request a license from Meta, which Meta may grant to you in its sole discretion, and you are not authorized to exercise any of the rights under this Agreement unless or until Meta otherwise expressly grants you such rights.
On open weightsToday, we’re introducing Meta Llama 3, the next generation of our state-of-the-art open source large language model.
The license states “Meta Llama 3 Version Release Date: April 18, 2024.” It keeps the clause barring use of the materials or their output “to improve any other large language model (excluding Meta Llama 3 or derivative works thereof).” The acceptable-use policy linked from the license is https://llama.meta.com/llama3/use-policy. Attribution in the license uses “Built with Meta Llama 3.”
If, on the Meta Llama 3 version release date, the monthly active users of the products or services made available by or for Licensee, or Licensee’s affiliates, is greater than 700 million monthly active users in the preceding calendar month, you must request a license from Meta, which Meta may grant to you in its sole discretion, and you are not authorized to exercise any of the rights under this Agreement unless or until Meta otherwise expressly grants you such rights.
Release: Llama 2 weights for research and commercial use under the Llama 2 Community License Agreement, which includes a 700 million monthly active user clause.
On open weightsWe’re now ready to open source the next version of Llama 2 and are making it available free of charge for research and commercial use. We’re including model weights and starting code for the pretrained model and conversational fine-tuned versions too.
The license is headed “Llama 2 Version Release Date: July 18, 2023.” It also says: “You will not use the Llama Materials or any output or results of the Llama Materials to improve any other large language model (excluding Llama 2 or derivative works thereof).” An Acceptable Use Policy is at https://ai.meta.com/llama/use-policy.
If, on the Llama 2 version release date, the monthly active users of the products or services made available by or for Licensee, or Licensee's affiliates, is greater than 700 million monthly active users in the preceding calendar month, you must request a license from Meta, which Meta may grant to you in its sole discretion, and you are not authorized to exercise any of the rights under this Agreement unless or until Meta otherwise expressly grants you such rights.
