CLOUDFLARE TEAM UP WITH META TO MAKE LLAMA 2 AVAILABLE GLOBALLY

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 (Bernama) -- Cloudflare Inc, the connectivity cloud company, has partnered with Meta to make the Llama 2 open source large language model (LLM) available to developers building artificial intelligence (AI) applications on its developer platform, Workers.

According to Cloudflare in a statement, Meta’s release of Llama 2, a publicly available LLM, has presented a major shift, allowing developers to run and deploy their own LLMs.

“Meta has been a great contributor to the open source community, and bringing that same approach to AI is going to help ensure that powerful AI is accessible to all developers, and their communities, around the world, with data localisation built in,” said its chief executive officer and co-founder, Matthew Prince.

Now, more than a million developers already building on Cloudflare have access to a leading LLM to enrich their applications.

Cloudflare’s hyper-distributed edge network will enable developers anywhere to build applications with Llama 2, and with Cloudflare’s Data Localization Suite, they will be able to do this while controlling where their data is handled.

The company’s privacy-first approach to application development can help companies earn trust with their customers by ensuring data used for inference is not used for training or improving the LLM.
