Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Meta announced Monday it is partnering with the U.S. General Services Administration on an initiative that will give the government access to its Llama open source AI models.
The initiative is part of the GSA's OneGov program, aimed at modernizing how the federal government purchases goods and services, a press release said.
Meta has worked with the government on Llama in the past, on national security applications and for use in the International Space Station. Llama is a language model capable of processing and converting data including multimedia like video, photo, text and audio, in government operations.
"America is leading on AI, and we want to make sure all Americans see the benefit of AI innovation through better, more efficient public services. With Llama, America's government agencies can better serve people," said Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Meta, in a statement.
