Meta, on Thursday, August 29, announced their intent to form a joint venture with Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) to build and develop AI solutions on Llama for Indian enterprises.
Meta has committed to making accessible AI technology the foundation of this alliance. The venture will leverage Meta’s Llama models to create AI solutions customised for business in areas such as IT, sales, finance, customer service, marketing, and more. It will secure a full-stack environment for organisations to customise and employ generative AI applications and pre-configured AI solutions to address both industry-specific cases and cross-functionality.
This collaboration with Reliance works towards Meta’s goal of bringing AI closer to Indian enterprises. This is possible because Meta is integrating its open-source Llama models with RIL’s robust digital infrastructure, enabling the alliance to deploy high-performance models more affordably.
“We’re excited to deepen our partnership with Reliance to bring the power of open‑source AI to Indian developers and enterprises. Through this joint venture, we’re putting Meta’s Llama models into real-world use, and I’m looking forward to Meta expanding its footprint in the enterprise space as we unlock new possibilities together,” said Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta.
In order for Meta to reduce inference costs and guarantee safe, low-latency AI installations, Jio’s vast connection network and RIL’s cutting-edge AI data centre will play an essential role. Furthermore, this venture will allow Meta to have the freedom to implement solutions on premises, cloud, and throughout its Reliance infrastructure, enabling efficient management of infrastructure costs.
The social media giant also added that beyond this technology, the partnership aims to promote innovation and expansion in a number of sectors, especially small enterprises. Lower entry costs for advanced AI technologies should encourage SMBs and startups to adopt AI-driven solutions. They may advance faster, and the playing field would be levelled.
