Introducing the first Llama Startup Program cohort
We were thrilled by the overwhelming interest and diverse range of applications we received for the inaugural Llama Startup Program. After a meticulous review of over 1,000 submissions, we are excited to unveil our first cohort. This groundbreaking group comprises innovative early-stage startups across various sectors such as healthcare, marketing, finance, legal, software, sports, and more.
Diverse Applications
While the selected startups cover a wide array of industries, they share a common goal of pushing the boundaries of Llama's capabilities. For instance, one startup is revolutionizing healthcare administrative tasks through AI agents, while another is empowering educators with AI-driven lesson transformations. Additionally, a third company is developing a Legal AI Vertical Agent to assist individuals and businesses. These examples represent just a glimpse of the unique projects within our initial cohort.
Exploring New Frontiers
Our chosen startups are leveraging AI to enhance various areas such as coding tasks, gaming, developer efficiency, and even automotive racing. They are delving into the realms of text, vision, voice, and reasoning capabilities to elevate their projects to new heights. To support them on this journey, we are providing access to the Llama technical team and offering cloud credit reimbursements to alleviate the development costs associated with Llama.
Fostering Innovation
At Meta, we have a strong belief in the potential of early-stage startups to foster innovation in the generative AI landscape. Through the Llama Startup Program, we are dedicated to reducing the barriers to entry for engaging with Llama models. By granting these startups access to our advanced technology, resources, and expertise, we aim to accelerate their growth, drive innovation, and make a significant impact on society. We eagerly anticipate witnessing the incredible achievements of this cohort.
