Change Summary
Meta rebranded its Llama API service to 'Meta Model API' and restructured the terms significantly. The updated agreement expands the scope from Llama-specific models to broader 'Meta Models', removes the 700 million monthly active user restriction that previously barred large platforms, eliminates the EU prohibition on multimodal AI access, and removes fine-tuning functionality language while adding new provisions around managed accounts and data processing. The operational effect is broader developer access without scale restrictions and simplified account management, offset by removal of specific Llama model carve-outs and fine-tuning documentation.
