Meta: Llama 4 Maverick
meta-llama/llama-4-maverickAbout
Llama 4 Maverick is a multimodal model from Meta built on a mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture with 128 routed experts and a shared expert, activating 17 billion parameters per forward pass out of 400B total. It accepts text and image input and produces text and code output across 12 supported languages, using early fusion for native multimodality and a 1 million token context window. Trained on roughly 22 trillion tokens with a knowledge cutoff in August 2024, it is instruction-tuned for assistant-style interaction, image reasoning, and tool use. On the LMArena chat leaderboard it reached an ELO score of 1417, and it performs comparably to DeepSeek V3 on reasoning and coding with fewer active parameters. Released April 5, 2025 under the Llama 4 Community License.
