Can I use Llama 3.1 Community commercially, in AI training or with modifications?
Use, reproduce, distribute, copy and modify the Llama 3.1 materials, including commercially, subject to the Acceptable Use Policy, attribution and naming duties, and a separate license for services above 700 million monthly active users.
| Use | Answer | Why |
|---|---|---|
| commercial_use | Yes | Permitted, with duties: attribution, license_notice, acceptable_use_policy, model_name_prefix, user_threshold. |
| model_training | Needs human review | The license lets you use Llama 3.1 and its outputs to build other models, but a model you distribute that was created, trained or improved with Llama materials must have a name beginning with "Llama" and comes under the agreement's duties. A reviewer should confirm how this applies to your model. |

| redistribution | Yes | Permitted, with duties: attribution, license_notice, acceptable_use_policy, model_name_prefix, user_threshold. |
