On Saturday, Meta Platforms announced the launch of its latest versions of the Llama language model, namely Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick.

This was reported by Reuters.

Meta states that Llama is a multimodal artificial intelligence system.

Multimodal systems are capable of processing and integrating various types of data, including text, video, images, and audio, and can convert content between these formats.

The company added that Llama 4 Maverick and Llama 4 Scout will feature open-source software.

Additionally, the company announced a preview of Llama 4 Behemoth, which it described as “one of the smartest LLMs in the world and our most powerful tool that will act as a teacher for our new models.”

Major tech firms are actively investing in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure following the success of OpenAI's ChatGPT, which has significantly altered the technological landscape and spurred investments in machine learning.

On Friday, The Information reported that Meta postponed the launch of the latest version of its LLM as Llama 4 did not meet the company's expectations in technical tests, particularly in reasoning and mathematical tasks.

The company was also concerned that Llama 4 was less capable than OpenAI's models in conducting human-like voice conversations, as noted in the report.
