Google CEO Sundar Pichai congratulates Meta on Llama 4 launch - The Economic Times
Google CEO Sundar Pichai recently congratulated the Meta team behind that company’s latest large language model, known as Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick.
Posting on X, Pichai said, “Never a dull day in the AI world! Congrats to the Llama 4 team, Onwards!”
Llama 4 is a multimodal AI system capable of processing and integrating diverse data types, including text, video, images, and audio, while seamlessly converting content across these formats. Meta describes Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick as its “most advanced models yet,” claiming they outperform all previous Llama generations.
Meta AI, the company’s AI-powered assistant integrated into apps such as WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram, has been updated to utilise Llama 4 in 40 countries.
The models are open-source and immediately available, while Llama 4 Behemoth, a “teacher model” designed to enhance the new models, remains in training. Meta asserts that Behemoth can surpass GPT-4.5, Claude Sonnet 3.7, and Gemini 2.0 Pro on STEM-focused benchmarks such as MATH-500 and GPQA Diamond.
Additionally, Meta announced an exclusive event, ‘LlamaCon,’ scheduled for April 29, where it will outline the possibilities and potential of Llama in greater detail.
