Meta has gained approval from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to supply federal agencies and departments with its own Llama AI models and services, furthering the tech giant's previously established AI-focused dealings with the Trump administration.

The decision to make Meta's Llama models accessible across the federal government is part of the GSA's “OneGov strategy,” which aims to streamline the government-wide onboarding process of third-party AI technologies as the Trump administration strives for global AI dominance.

Meta will be joining xAI, OpenAI and other technology companies included on the GSA-approved list of AI suppliers.

A recent Meta press release describes the company's hopes that the arrangement will “accelerate federal agency access” to its AI models and tools, while strengthening objectives laid out in the government's “AI Action Plan,” an initiative promoting expanded federal power over AI systems and stateside data storage.

“Llama models offer federal agencies the ability to retain full control over data processing and storage,” Meta wrote. “Since the models are publicly available, technical teams can build, deploy, and scale AI applications at a lower cost.”

Per a deal made last year, Llama models are already available to U.S. government agencies and contractors working on national security applications. Meta has planned on spending over $65 billion on AI initiatives by the end of 2025, while also developing its “Superintelligence” project.

Due to its open-source approach, Meta's OneGov arrangement avoided procurement negotiations, as Llama models are freely available to the public.
