Last Tuesday, July 23, Inner AI stood out in the technology scene by becoming the first Brazilian startup to make the generative artificial intelligence model Llama 3 available.1, developed by Meta.

International Context
A Meta, led by Mark Zuckerberg, announced that Llama 3.1 it would initially be available only in the United States, with expansion plans for other countries in Latin America, like Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru. However, Brazil was not included in this initial list due to regulatory issues. The National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) rejected Meta's new privacy policy, that used user data to improve its AI system, alleging violations of the General Data Protection Law (LGPD)
Challenging the limitations imposed by the ANPD, Inner AI announced the integration of Llama 3.1 on your platform, becoming the first company in Brazil to offer this cutting-edge technology. Pedro Salles, co-founder and CEO of Inner AI, explained how the startup achieved this feat. "The models of Meta", including Llama 3.1, are Open Source. This allows anyone to download and run the model on their own server, Salles stated
Inner AI used its own GPUs and advanced infrastructure to operate Llama 3.1, offering the model to its users in Brazil. "It is a big risk for the population to depend on a single manufacturer of AI model", and Inner visa brings together the best of what each AI model has to offer. Meta made an incredible contribution to open source and to this future we are building, highlighted the CEO
The initiative of Inner AI not only places the startup at the forefront of AI technology in Brazil, but also paves the way for greater diversity and independence in the use of artificial intelligence models in the country. The measure promises to benefit companies and developers seeking innovative and customized solutions for their content creation needs and other applications
With this action, Inner AI reaffirms its commitment to innovation and the democratization of technology, while positioning itself as a relevant player in the competitive artificial intelligence market
