Meta updated its Llama API Terms of Service to expand the scope of what constitutes 'Services' and 'Materials' to include downloadable components, coding tools, and third-party software. The terms now explicitly define tiered model access (Discounted and Standard Models), introduce new obligations around AI-generated content labeling and disclosure, and broaden the definition of what developers must warrant they have rights to submit (now including libraries, code, and databases accessed through integrations). The change also clarifies that Meta may use content to improve safety and security systems, and that outputs may include third-party licensed materials.

2 new obligations 2 obligations expanded

Developers: If your country or state requires you to label or disclose AI-generated content, you must do so in your products and outputs.

Developers: You must confirm you own or have permission to use all code, libraries, and data you feed into the API, including through third-party integrations.

Developers: You are responsible for ensuring your customers comply with the API terms and any AI labeling laws that apply to them.

What this means for you

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

The updated terms expand what developers must warrant they have rights to use (now including code, libraries, and databases accessed through integrations) and introduce new compliance obligations around AI-generated content labeling and disclosure. Developers are now explicitly responsible for meeting applicable legal requirements for labeling, disclosure, provenance marking, or classification of AI-generated or AI-assisted content in their Integrated Products. The terms also clarify that outputs may include third-party licensed materials, which developers must account for in their own products.

What you can do

→ Review the updated Llama API Terms to understand the new AI content labeling and disclosure obligations.

→ Assess whether your jurisdiction imposes AI content labeling or disclosure requirements and ensure your Integrated Products comply.

→ Audit all code, libraries, and data submitted to the API to confirm you have necessary rights and licenses.

Previous text
The updated terms establish new obligations for developers integrating Meta's AI models into their products. The agreement now requires developers to comply with applicable AI labeling, disclosure, provenance-marking, and system classification requirements under applicable law, with responsibility falling on the developer to implement these disclosures to end users. The expanded definition of Inputs now explicitly includes code, libraries, databases, and any content accessed through connectors or integrations, which may broaden what user-submitted content Meta claims the right to process for safety and security purposes.
