Meta’s open-source Llama family of AI models continues to gain traction, now exceeding 1.2 billion downloads. The announcement was made at the inaugural LlamaCon developer conference, underscoring the growing popularity of these models within the developer community. This milestone represents a substantial increase from the 1 billion downloads reported just weeks ago in mid-March, and the 650 million from early December 2024. Meta attributes the rapid adoption to the active involvement of thousands of developers who are contributing to the Llama ecosystem by creating and downloading tens of thousands of derivative models.
