Llama is somewhat unique among major models in that it’s “open,” meaning developers can download and use it however they please (with certain limitations). That’s in contrast to models like Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini, xAI’s Grok, and most of OpenAI’s ChatGPT models, which can only be accessed via APIs.  In the interest of giving developers choice, however, Meta has also partnered with vendors, including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, to make cloud-hosted versions of Llama available.
