Meta has unveiled Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick, the latest additions to its family of open-source AI models. These multimodal systems are capable of understanding and generating text, images, audio, and video, making them among the most advanced models available to the public. Meta's decision to open-source these models is seen as a major commitment to community-driven AI innovation, contrasting with the more closed approaches of some competitors. The company has also previewed Llama 4 Behemoth, a larger model designed to serve as a 'teacher' for future AI systems. Researchers and developers worldwide are already experimenting with Llama 4's capabilities, using it for applications ranging from creative content generation to scientific analysis. Meta's open-source strategy is expected to accelerate progress in AI research, foster transparency, and democratize access to cutting-edge technology.
