Meta has released a new collection of AI models, Llama 4, in its Llama family — on a Saturday, no less. There are four new models in total: Llama 4 Scout, Llama 4 Maverick, and Llama 4 Behemoth.

Meta released Llama 4 Scout and Maverick on April 5 to boost its lead in generative AI. Llama 4 models can handle text, images, audio, and video and are freely available outside the EU. Meta plans to spend $65 billion on AI infrastructure and has expanded Llama 4 to 40 countries.
