Meta revised its Llama API Terms of Service to introduce a new Coding Harness Subscription offering, governed by separate Meta Subscription Terms, and restructured how API keys and subscriptions are managed. The updated terms clarify that the Services are intended for commercial use except where Meta expressly permits personal or consumer use through a subscription. The agreement also expands the definition of prohibited uses to explicitly prohibit reselling or providing access to the Services through model aggregators, API gateways, or proxies, and broadens the definition of 'Inputs' to include audio alongside existing data types.
Developers: You cannot share, sell, or transfer your API key to anyone else without Meta's written approval.
Developers: You cannot resell or provide access to Llama through third-party platforms like model aggregators or API gateways without Meta's written permission.
Developers: If you use Llama through a Coding Harness Subscription, your API key can only be used within that coding harness and cannot be used to bypass your subscription's usage limits or billing.
The updated terms establish that the Llama API Services are intended for commercial use, except where Meta expressly permits personal or consumer use through a subscription. Developers and integrators can no longer share API keys with third parties or resell access through model aggregators, API gateways, or proxies without Meta's prior written permission. The terms now explicitly govern a new Coding Harness Subscription offering, which is subject to separate Meta Subscription Terms but uses API keys restricted to use only within the coding harness and subject to usage limits and billing controls.
→ Review your current API integrations and partnerships to confirm they do not violate the new restrictions on API key sharing or third-party access provision.
→ If you operate an API aggregator, gateway, or proxy that includes Llama access, contact Meta to request written authorization or clarify compliance requirements.
