Meta has launched its new Llama 4 series, featuring three models: Scout, Maverick, and Behemoth. Scout and Maverick are available now.
In general, large technology companies do not make announcements over the weekend. However, Meta surprised everyone by unveiling its Llama 4 series of models this past weekend. The Llama series includes three models: Llama 4 Scout, Llama 4 Maverick, and Llama 4 Behemoth.
Llama 4 Scout is the smallest model in the series, featuring 17 billion active parameters with 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. Despite its impressive performance, this model can run on a single NVIDIA H100 GPU.
