Where it's used

Hugging Face does not say who downloads a model or with what. These are the proxies: API providers listing it, quantized builds, fine-tunes/adapters/merges, and Spaces that load it.

Served by 4 API providers; 39 quantized builds for local use; a big base for builders (90 fine-tunes, adapters and merges).

Meta released Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick, the first open-weight natively multimodal models using a mixture-of-experts (MoE) architecture. Llama 4 Scout features a 10M context window and fits on a single H100 GPU, while Llama 4 Maverick uses 128 experts to outperform GPT-4o on benchmarks. Both models are available for download today on llama.com and Hugging Face.written, reviewed, cited
  • Llama 4 Maverick achieves comparable results to DeepSeek v3 on reasoning and coding at less than half the active parameters.
  • The post-training pipeline removed more than 50% of data tagged as easy to prevent SFT and DPO from over-constraining the model.
  • Pre-training utilized FP8 precision on 32K GPUs to achieve 390 TFLOPs/GPU while maintaining high model FLOPs utilization.

Meta launches a standalone app for its Llama 4-powered AI assistant, featuring full-duplex speech technology that generates voice directly instead of reading written responses. Voice conversations, including the full duplex demo, are available in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to start. The web interface also gains an improved image generation experience and tests a rich document editor for generating documents full of text and images that can be exported as PDFs.written, reviewed, cited
  • The full-duplex voice demo lacks access to the web or real-time information.
  • Personalized responses are currently limited to the US and Canada only.
  • Users cannot start a conversation on the app and resume it on Ray-Ban Meta glasses.

Cerebras Systems set a world record for Llama 4 Maverick inference speed, achieving 2,522 tokens per second according to Artificial Analysis. This performance exceeds NVIDIA Blackwell's 1,038 tokens per second and outpaces other vendors including SambaNova at 794 t/s, Amazon at 290 t/s, Groq at 549 t/s, Google at 125 t/s, and Microsoft Azure at 54 t/s. The Cerebras hardware and API are available now without requiring custom software optimizations.written, reviewed, cited

Meta's AI API has remained waitlist-only for 10 months since the Llama-4 release, prompting discussions on internal dysfunction. Commenters note that while Meta released updated segmentation models like SAM 3D objects, external users increasingly prefer DeepSeek. Speculation suggests the project may face derailing similar to previous Zuckerberg obsessions.written, reviewed, cited
