IBM plans to host Meta's Llama2 model on its AI platform, further advancing AI openness and innovation. The Llama2 conversational model will be part of IBM's strategy to offer third-party and proprietary AI models. The model will be available for early access in the watsonx.ai studio and will support natural language processing tasks. This collaboration builds on the foundation of IBM's partnership with Meta in AI openness and innovation, including the development of open-source projects and machine learning frameworks. IBM is committed to delivering secure and trustworthy generative AI capabilities and providing AI guardrails to help filter harmful language. IBM's consulting team will work with clients to help them fine-tune and operationalize the model.
