What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Llama 2 founded the modern open-weight commercial-license ecosystem and is the direct ancestor of Llama 3/3.1 already in the register, but it has been technically superseded twice over (by Llama 3.x, then by Llama 4) and Meta itself has since pivoted its 2026 flagship (Muse Spark) to fully closed weights, so the artifact's forward relevance is historical/lineage, not adoption-worthy.
Next
Do not build new fine-tunes or serving paths against raw Llama 2 weights; treat it as historical/legacy substrate only — evaluate current-generation open weights (Llama 3.x, Qwen, GLM, Mistral) for any new on-device or fine-tuning work, citing Llama 2 only for lineage/provenance context.
