Meta said its Llama 4 Scout model has 17 billion active parameters and uses 16 experts. The company claims it outperforms rival large language models — Gemma 3, Gemini 2.0 Flash-lite, and Mistral 3.1 — “across a broad range of widely accepted benchmarks.” Meanwhile, Llama 4 Maverick also has 17 billion active parameters but is configured with 128 experts.

The White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks says Meta’s release of its latest AI model, Llama 4, has pushed the United States into the lead in the global race for artificial intelligence dominance.“For the US to win the AI race, we have to win in open source too, and Llama 4 puts us back in the lead,” Sacks said in an April 5 X post, as speculation continues to mount over the US and China competing for the top spot in the global AI race.

Just over a week into the job, Sacks said he is “confident in the US, but we can’t be complacent.”Llama 4 “best in their class for multimodality,” says MetaSack’s latest comment came after Meta’s AI division said in an X post on the same day that it is introducing the fourth generation of its Llama models, Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick.
