Chinese tech giant Alibaba is bringing Meta's new open source large language model to its cloud computing platform. The Llama 2 model has just been made available free-of-charge for both commercial and academic use, and is already running on other cloud platforms, as well as being available to download and run locally.

Meta published the code and weights for its model last week, partnering with Microsoft on the initial release. While Microsoft doesn't publish its own models directly, it is heavily invested in OpenAI and uses the AI lab's models in its own products. But unlike OpenAI, Meta is making all its trained models available open source.
