The Llama 4 herd: The beginning of a new era of natively multimodal AI innovation

Meet Llama 4 Scout and its wild cousin Maverick. Each struts around with 17 billion parameters. Scout's got 16 experts; Maverick goes big with 128. Together, they outshine GPT-4o in the multimodal spotlight while comfortably riding a lone NVIDIA H100 GPU. Then there’s the heavyweight, Llama 4 Behemoth. With a jaw-dropping 288 billion parameters, it crushes the competition in STEM tests, leaving GPT-4.5 in the dust. This crew isn't just flexing muscles; they're redefining the limits of context and efficiency in AI, leading the charge in tech wizardry.
