Meta

Meta Platforms is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Menlo Park, California. Best known for operating Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads, Meta has become one of the most influential players in open-weight AI research through its Llama family of large language models, released under permissive licenses that have reshaped the competitive landscape.

Meta's catalog on Venice spans three text models covering a wide range of scale and capability. At the lightweight end, Llama 3.2 3B offers efficient performance for resource-constrained tasks. Llama 3.3 70B serves as a strong general-purpose workhorse, while the massive Hermes 3 Llama 3.1 405B — a fine-tuned variant built on Meta's largest public architecture — delivers flagship-tier reasoning and instruction-following.

Meta's commitment to open-weight releases has made the Llama series a foundational building block across the AI ecosystem. By publishing weights at scales up to 405 billion parameters, Meta has enabled a thriving community of fine-tuners and downstream developers, positioning Llama as one of the most widely adopted open model families in the industry.
