Meta's official repository of Llama large language models with Python utilities for working with them, including model cards, licenses, and tokenizer support. It serves as the central hub for accessing Llama 2 through Llama 3.x model families and their associated tooling.

Use cases

• download and run Llama models locally
• use the Llama tokenizer in my Python project
• find Llama model licenses and model cards
• build generative AI apps on top of Llama
• compare Llama model sizes and context lengths
• get started with open-weight LLMs from Meta

When to choose

• you want official utilities, licenses, and model cards for Llama models
• you need the Llama tokenizer or model metadata in Python
• you're building on the Llama ecosystem and want the canonical source

When to avoid

• you need a full inference server or serving framework
• you want fine-tuning tooling (see llama-cookbook instead)
• you need a permissively licensed library - the license is a custom Llama license
