PRESS RELEASE Circus SE Becomes European Partner in Meta’s Expansion of AI Models to Defense and Security

• Circus extends collaborative partnership with Meta to the defense sector as the company officially expands access to Llama AI models for national security and defense purposes beyond the Five Eyes nations.
   
• 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 nutrition systems and troop supply, today announces the extension of its collaborative partnership with Meta to 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, along with 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 provides a strong competitive edge for Circus in developing next-generation defense solutions that enhance decision-making, operational efficiency, and field deployment. Such access enables Circus to integrate Meta's AI technology within its embodied AI systems CA-M, creating fully autonomous systems powered by advanced AI.
