This partnership represents a major step forward for federal AI adoption and government efficiency. Through the GSA’s OneGov initiative, Meta’s free Llama models give agencies streamlined, secure access to open-source AI, enabling mission-specific tools to boost innovation, improve services and save taxpayer dollars. With the Trump administration’s AI Action Plan driving this effort, federal agencies are now positioned to modernize operations and deliver results faster than ever.
The GSA’s partnership with Meta to deploy Llama across federal agencies raises alarm. Meta’s history of controversial adjustments against "liberal bias" aligns the company with partisan pressures, while the Trump administration’s hands-off approach fast-tracks untested AI into government operations. Without proper safeguards, this initiative risks ideological influence, data vulnerabilities and unchecked corporate control over public services.
While the Trump administration pushes rapid AI adoption through the GSA’s OneGov partnership with Meta’s Llama, concerns are rising within the MAGA base. Figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Steve Bannon warn that fast-tracking untested AI could displace jobs, strain resources, and threaten human dignity. The clash exposes a rift between populist conservatives wary of Big Tech and an administration closely aligned with Silicon Valley, raising questions about oversight, accountability, and the stability of Trump’s political coalition as AI reshapes government power.
There is a 63.9% chance that Mark Zuckerberg will remain CEO of Meta until Oct. 21, 2031, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
