Meta said on 23 April 2025 a case study on how Litmos is using Llama 3.1 8B to make content discovery more intuitive in its learning management system.

Litmos serves about 4,000 companies and 30 million learners in 35 languages. Learners struggled with keyword search, which cut engagement and LMS adoption.

The assistant supports natural-language search, course recommendations, self-study summaries and follow-on questions. Litmos ran a proof of concept on a subset of 100 courses before a wider rollout.

“Llama was a clear choice for us because it delivered better performance, faster response times, and greater cost-effectiveness than competing models,” said Dave Newman, VP of Technology at Litmos. The company self-hosts Meta’s Llama model with retrieval-augmented generation to keep learner and proprietary content under its control.

Litmos worked with Tribe AI on design and deployment. Tommy Richardson, Chief Product and Technology Officer, said the human-like interface helps learners find information faster and use the LMS more routinely.
