Llama 4 Maverick
Open Weights
Meta
Meta's natively-multimodal Llama 4 mid-tier model (April 2025): a mixture-of-experts design with 17B active parameters across 128 experts (400B total) and a 1M-token context window. Open weights under the Llama 4 Community License with early-fusion multimodality.
Strengths
- Natively multimodal (text + image) with early-fusion architecture
- 1M-token context window
- Efficient MoE - 17B active params keep inference cost low for a 400B model
- Open weights - free to self-host and fine-tune
Caveats
- Llama 4 Community License is not a standard OSI license (>700M MAU needs Meta approval)
- August 2024 pretraining cutoff trails newer frontier models
- MoE serving requires significant GPU memory for the full 400B weights
