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
