Meta is allowing more governments to access its suite of Llama AI models. The group includes France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and South Korea and organizations associated with the European Union and NATO. The move comes after the company took similar steps last year to bring Llama to the US government and its contractors.

The company is introducing a new software overlay today it calls the Play Games Sidekick that gives you access to Gemini Live while you play, alongside a host of other gaming-focused updates to Google Play that could make the app platform a better home for gamers.
