We’re accepting proposals from eligible organizations across the world with an idea for how to use Llama 3.1 to address social challenges in their communities. Applications addressing areas including economic development, science and innovation, public service, and more will receive special consideration. Read more about the criteria here. Selected recipients will receive up to $500,000 USD and will be announced early next year.
In October 2023, we announced the inaugural Llama Impact Grants program—a global call for proposals to source innovative use cases of Llama, our open source AI models, to address critical global challenges in areas like education, the environment, and open innovation. Today, we’re excited to announce that applications are open for the next iteration of this program, the Llama 3.1 Impact Grants, through which we’ll award a total of up to $2 million USD. We’re seeking proposals that use the new features and capabilities of Llama 3.1 to explore how these tools can be deployed for economically and socially impactful projects.
We believe AI has more potential than any other modern technology to increase human productivity, creativity, and quality of life—and to accelerate economic growth while unlocking progress in medical and scientific research. To help realize this potential and help organizations around the world leverage the benefits of open source AI, we’ve expanded our grant program to a portfolio of grants, awards, hackathons, and community building to showcase how open source AI can promote social and economic progress. We’re inspired by the diverse projects we’ve seen developers undertake around the world to positively impact their communities by building with Llama.
Deadline – 22nd November, 2024
