Meta Launches Llama 4: The Ultimate Multi-modal LLM
Normally, tech giants rarely announce products on the weekend. However, Meta surprised everyone by introducing the Llama 4 model line last weekend. This series includes three versions: Llama 4 Scout, Llama 4 Maverick and Llama 4 Behemoth.
Llama 4 scout: "monster" performance on single gpu
Llama 4 Scout is the smallest model, boasting 17 billion parameters and 16 experts. Meta claims Scout is the best multimodal model in its class, outperforming Gemma 3, Gemini 2.0 Flash-Lite, and Mistral 3.1 in standard AI benchmarks. Notably, despite its impressive performance, the model can run on a single NVIDIA H100 GPU. Scout also supports a context window of up to 10 million tokens, an industry record, although its real-world performance remains to be seen.
Llama 4 maverick: a formidable rival to gpt-4o
Llama 4 Maverick is the “popular” version with 17 billion parameters but increased to 128 experts. Meta claims Maverick outperforms GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash in industry benchmarks. Maverick’s chatbot test version scored 1,417 points on LMArena, ranking 2nd among the top LLMs today.
Llama 4 behemoth: "monster" 288 billion parameters
Llama 4 Behemoth – the largest model in the series – is still in training. With 288 billion parameters and 16 experts, Behemoth is announced by Meta to outperform GPT-4.5, Claude Sonnet 3.7, and Gemini 2.0 Pro on many standard AI benchmarks.
Availability
Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick are now available for download on llama.com and Hugging Face. For general users, the models are being integrated into Meta AI on WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram Direct, and the web.
