Meta Launches New Llama 4 Models
Meta Platforms has unveiled the latest version of its language model called Llama 4, featuring the Scout and Maverick variants.
This news comes from Reuters.
According to Meta, Llama is a multimodal artificial intelligence system that can handle various types of data, including text, images, video, and audio.
The company stated that Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick will be offered as open-source software.
Additionally, Meta previewed Llama 4 Behemoth, describing it as 'one of the smartest LLMs in the world and our most powerful, which will serve as a teacher for our new models.'
Major tech firms are heavily investing in artificial intelligence infrastructure following the success of OpenAI's ChatGPT, which has transformed the technology landscape.
On Friday, The Information reported that Meta postponed the launch of the latest LLM due to Llama 4 not meeting the company's expectations in technical tests, particularly in reasoning and mathematical tasks.
The company also expressed concerns that Llama 4 was less capable than OpenAI's models in conducting human-like conversations, according to the report.
