Meta has announced the discontinuation of the public preview for its Llama API service, effective July 6, 2026. This move is part of the company's ongoing evolution of developer tools.
Upon the service's retirement, all API requests will return a deactivation message with redirection guidance. Meta advises users to migrate to third-party providers that support the Llama model.
The Llama models themselves will not be affected and will continue to be available for download via Meta's dedicated download page. The company also indicated plans to introduce new avenues for developers to utilize Meta AI models in the future, with further details expected soon.
