Llama 4 Maverick

Llama 4 Maverick, released by Meta in April 2025, is the flagship of the Llama 4 family with 402B total parameters and 17B active parameters using a Mixture of Experts architecture. The model features a 1 million token context window, providing substantial capacity for long-document processing and extended conversations.

Maverick beats GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash across multiple benchmarks and is described as comparable to DeepSeek V3 in overall capability. Notably, it is positioned as the best multimodal open model in its class, handling text, images, and other modalities effectively while remaining fully open-weight and available for commercial use.

As Meta's most capable open-weight model, Llama 4 Maverick represents a significant milestone in democratizing access to frontier AI capabilities. Its combination of strong performance, multimodal abilities, large context window, and open availability makes it attractive for organizations seeking to deploy advanced AI without dependence on proprietary APIs or concerns about vendor lock-in.
