Meta is the only Big Tech company committed to developing AI, particularly large language models, with an open-source approach.

There are 3 ways you can use Llama 3 for your business:

1- Llama 3 as a Service
Use Llama 3 from any cloud provider as a service. You pay by use, but the price is typically much cheaper than proprietary models like GPT-4 or Claude.
→ Use Llama 3 on Azure AI catalog:

2- Self-Hosting
If you have GPU infrastructure (on-premises or cloud), you can run Llama 3 internally at your desired scale.
