This significant growth highlights the increasing adoption and interest in AI technology. At the recent LlamaCon developer conference, Meta proudly reported that downloads have surged to 1.2 billion.
Meta’s Impressive Growth in AI Downloads
During the keynote at LlamaCon, Chris Cox, Meta’s chief product officer, shared exciting statistics about the Llama ecosystem:
