Llama Cookbook

Meta's official recipes and examples for building with its Llama AI models.

What it does

The Llama Cookbook is Meta's official guide to working with Llama, its family of openly available AI models for text and images. It used to be called llama-recipes.

It contains getting-started notebooks for running the models, fine-tuning them on your own data and connecting them to your documents, plus complete example projects such as a WhatsApp bot, a research-paper analyser and a book character mind-map. There are also guides for using Llama through various cloud providers.
