• Meta (Facebook) has announced three new models in the Llama 4 family.
• The focus will be on testing the Llama 4 Maverick model.

Llama 4 Models Overview

1. Llama 4 Scout

   • Parameters: 109 billion total, 17 billion active.
   • Features: 10 million token context length.

2. Llama 4 Maverick

   • Parameters: 400 billion total, with 128 experts.
   • Features: 17 billion active parameters, 1 million token context length.
   • Currently available and tested on various types of questions.

3. Llama 4 Behemoth

   • Parameters: 2 trillion total, 288 billion active.
   • Not yet available due to ongoing training and issues.

Testing Llama 4 Maverick

• Testing was conducted using together.ai as Meta does not offer a direct interface.
• Various types of questions and programming tasks were tested.

Logic and Comprehension Testing

• Easy Logic Questions: Successfully answered the simple logic questions like counting family members.
• Complex Logic Questions: Struggled with more complex logic problems, such as the second hourglass question.

English Language Tasks

• Successfully completed tasks involving synonym finding and reversing.

Programming Tasks

• Python Programming: Successfully wrote a program to process a phrase and convert numerical results to hexadecimal.
• Specification Task: Developed a specification for an encoding method and wrote C code, though initial build attempts had errors.

Machine Learning Task

• Attempted to create a tic-tac-toe game with machine learning but was unsuccessful in creating a robust AI opponent.

Image Recognition

• Described an infographic as Shakespeare with moderate success.
• Failed to correctly identify the top values of dice from an image.

Conclusion

• Performance Evaluation: Maverick performed well with simpler tasks but struggled with more complex programming and logic challenges.
• Comparison to Other Models: Gemini 2.5 Pro and models from OpenAI appear to perform better.
• Future Outlook: Interest in seeing results from Llama 4 Behemoth once available.
