On Saturday, Meta Platforms announced the release of its latest version of the language model Llama, named Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick.

This news was reported by Reuters.

According to Meta, Llama represents a multimodal artificial intelligence system.

These multimodal systems can process and integrate various types of data, including text, video, images, and audio, and can convert content among these formats.

Additionally, Meta stated that Llama 4 Maverick and Llama 4 Scout will be open-source software.

The company also announced a preview of Llama 4 Behemoth, which it described as "one of the smartest LLMs in the world and our most powerful one that will serve as a teacher for our new models."

Major tech companies are heavily investing in artificial intelligence infrastructure following the success of ChatGPT by OpenAI, which has transformed the technological landscape and spurred investments in machine learning.

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

There are also concerns that Llama 4 is less capable than OpenAI's models in engaging in human-like voice conversations, the report added.
