Circus expands collaboration with Meta into the defense sector as the company officially expands access to Llama AI models for national security and defense beyond the Five Eyes nations. The integration of Meta's Llama AI models into the CA-M Defense AI Robot provides Circus with a strategic technological advantage through secure and locally controlled AI.
Munich, September 24, 2025 - Circus SE (XETRA: CA1), a global technology leader in AI robotics for autonomous feeding systems and troop supply, today announces the expansion of its collaborative partnership with Meta to include its Llama for defense AI program.
Meta (NASDAQ: META) first made its Llama AI models available to the United States' closest intelligence allies - the Five Eyes nations of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom - for national security use cases last year. Now, the company is expanding access to a broader group of democratic partners in Europe and Asia. These include partners in France, Germany, Italy, Japan and South Korea, as well as key institutions such as NATO and the European Union.
As a leading dual-use company and European partner in this program, Circus will gain access to the latest Llama models to advance mission-specific AI capabilities. Access to Llama for defense and national security use cases gives Circus a strong competitive advantage in developing next-generation defense solutions that improve decision-making, operational efficiency and field operations. Such access enables Circus to integrate Meta's AI technology into its CA-M embodied AI systems, creating fully autonomous systems based on advanced AI.
Circus SE is committed to responsible AI development and the ethical use of artificial intelligence. The partnership also underscores the company's growing role in the defense sector and its commitment to the use of embodied AI and robotics to strengthen resilience.
