We built this profile from public sources and didn't use the product ourselves. The price is what we saw on the day we checked, so it may have changed.

Who it’s for

Teams that can accept Meta's license, including its display rules and scale terms.

Why we said Watch

What it is

Meta’s Llama open-weight models. See the official page. This profile describes public documentation, not a Loaded Tokens hands-on test.

Who it is for

Teams that can accept Meta’s license, including its display rules and scale terms. The recommendation is scoped to that job.

The evidence behind Watch

The download is real. The license is a community license with conditions, not MIT. The source page is the receipt. No speed ranking or reliability score is implied.

Pricing and the catch

Weights are free under the Llama community license, which is not an OSI open-source license. Public pricing or license checked November 7, 2026. Amounts are as stated on that page. Tax, region, annual billing, and extra usage can change the bill.

A sensible first workflow

Read the license next to the weights you actually download. Versions differ. This is a suggested evaluation, not a test we ran.

Bottom line: Watch. Open weights is not the same phrase as open source.
