Cross 700M monthly active users on Llama and you must request a license from Meta. Request, not buy, and the terms get negotiated. That is the whole clause, though the details are where people trip. - Not per app: three Llama products count together toward the 700 million, per calendar month. - Fine-tunes and distillations count. You cannot reset the counter by fine-tuning. - Cross the line without asking and you are outside the license grant. You would negotiate from a weak position. - Perspective: this clause exists for the handful of companies on earth that could plausibly hit it. If that is not you, file under good-to-know. I track MAU-style thresholds across 200 models, and PrivateLLM deploy sets up the licensed model on your own AWS for $50 plus usage.
