Recently, Meta announced that Llama has been downloaded 1 Billion times.
Interestingly enough, Clem Delangue, CEO at Hugging Face, shared that Llama just represented 3% of total model downloads on Hugging Face in March. He quoted:

I think what that means is that there’s an opportunity for a diverse and decentralized ecosystem of AI models, in particular Open Source AI models.
