> **Affiliation:** Independent Developer  
> **Intended Use:**

My projects are strictly non-commercial, open-source, and for personal skill development. I’ve read and accept Meta’s Llama 2 license terms and agree to comply with all usage restrictions.

This is the first time I’ve tried AI and meta was recommended.  
Is there anything I can do / add / provide to gain access to the model?

Thank you, Scott

> Hi everyone, Has anyone here experienced a rejection for LLaMA 3.1 or 3.2 model access and later found a way to resubmit the Model Card? In my case, both requests were rejected—most likely because I didn’t fill out the forms properly. I’ve since been approved for LLaMA 3.3 by Meta (so I know my use case is eligible), and I reached out both via email to llamamodels@meta.com and in the Hugging Face discussion pages, but haven’t received any response so far. If anyone has any tips, similar exper…
