"Llama 2 is perhaps best known for being part of another scandal. In November, Chinese researchers used Llama 2 as the foundation for an AI model used by the Chinese military, Reuters reported. Responding to the backlash, Meta told Reuters that the researchers' reliance on a “single" and "outdated" was "unauthorized," then promptly reversed policies banning military uses and opened up its AI models for US national security applications, TechCrunch reported.

"We are pleased to confirm that we’re making Llama available to US government agencies, including those that are working on defense and national security applications, and private sector partners supporting their work," a Meta blog said. "We’re partnering with companies including Accenture, Amazon Web Services, Anduril, Booz Allen, Databricks, Deloitte, IBM, Leidos, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Oracle, Palantir, Scale AI, and Snowflake to bring Llama to government agencies."

Because Meta's models are open-source, they "can easily be used by the government to support Musk’s goals without the company’s explicit consent," Wired suggested.

It's hard to track where Meta's models may have been deployed in government so far, and it's unclear why DOGE relied on Llama 2 when Meta has made advancements with Llama 3 and 4.

Not much is known about DOGE's use of Llama 2. Wired's review of records showed that DOGE deployed the model locally, "meaning it’s unlikely to have sent data over the Internet," which was a privacy concern that many government workers expressed.

In an April letter sent to Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, more than 40 lawmakers demanded a probe into DOGE's AI use, which, they warned—alongside "serious security risks"—could "have the potential to undermine successful and appropriate AI adoption.""

Bei all meiner Skepsis gegenüber #GenAI mit #LLM finde ich das doch teilweise ganz nützlich. Bisher war ich faul und habe abwechselnd diverse free-Accounts bei #ChatGPT, Gemini, Duckduckgo AI und Co. benutzt. Selbstverständlich mit Anfragen bei denen es kein Problem ist, wenn sie öffentlich werden.
Nun hat mein #GooglePixel einen Google Tensor Coprozessor. Kann man das Ding nicht für lokale AI benutzen? Kennt ihr ein lokales, performantes #LLaMa o.Ä. für Smartphones und Laptops? #askfedi

Ich habe euren Post mal etwas Überarbeitet, damit er spannender klingt.....

,, Der #META Konzern will die Daten von #Facebook, #Instagram, #WhatsApp und CO zum Training seiner #KI - #MetaAI - #Llama, benutzen.

Einspruch noch bis zum 26.05.25 möglich, sonst werden deine Daten fürs KI Training genutzt.
Oder noch besser, alle diese Dienste nicht mehr benutzen ,,

Tried out TheiaIDE with AI Agents Offline, running llama3.2 locally. Would you use it rather than GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code?

Как я начал писать своё автопротоколирование

Всем привет, это мой первый пост, если вдруг будет интересно, продолжу писать на эту тематику. Я не являюсь опытным и профессиональным разработчиком, поэтому буду делиться тем, что узнал сам и по какому пути шел. Мой путь не является правильным да и пишу в первый раз, поэтому судите «строго»:‑)
