Munich, September 24, 2025 - Circus SE (XETRA: CA1), a global technology leader in AI robotics for autonomous nutrition systems and troop supply, today announces the extension of its partnership with Meta to its Llama for defense AI program.

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. 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, along with key institutions such as NATO and the European Union.

As European partner in this initiative, Circus will gain access to the latest Llama models to advance mission-specific AI capabilities. This expanded collaboration with Meta provides a strong competitive edge in developing next-generation defense solutions that enhance decision-making, operational efficiency, and field deployment. The partnership enables Circus to integrate Meta's AI technology within its embodied AI systems CA-M, creating fully autonomous systems powered by advanced AI.

"Llama's open-source foundation allows us to securely deploy AI in sensitive environments locally without relying on third-party infrastructures. This gives Circus a strong strategic advantage in building intelligent autonomous systems and an AI-driven supply chain for meal supply, logistics, and demand prediction - further enhancing our autonomous defense systems to be truly intelligent," comments Niklas von Weihe, Director AI at Circus.

The collaboration between Circus SE and Meta accords with EU guidelines for responsible AI development and both companies' shared commitment to the ethical use of artificial intelligence.

The partnership also underscores Circus' growing role in the defense sector and its commitment to applying embodied AI and robotics to strengthen resilience.
