Meta’s new flagship AI language model Llama 4 came suddenly over the weekend, with the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Quest VR (among other services and products) revealing not one, not two, but three versions — all upgraded to be more powerful and performant using the popular “Mixture-of-Experts” architecture and a new training method involving fixed hyperparameters, known as MetaP. Also, all three are equipped with massive context windows — the amount of information that an AI language model can handle in one input/output exchange with a user or tool. But following the surprise announcement and public release of two of those models for download and usage — the lower-parameter Llama 4 Scout and mid-tier Llama 4 Maverick — on Saturday, the response from the AI community on social media has been less than adoring.Llama 4 sparks confusion and criticism among AI usersAn unverified post on the North American Chinese language community forum 1point3acres made its way over to the r/LocalLlama subreddit on Reddit alleging to be from a researcher at Meta’s GenAI organization who claimed that the model performed poorly on third-party benchmarks internally and that company leadership “suggested blending test sets from various benchmarks during the post-training process, aiming to meet the targets across various metrics and produce a ‘presentable’ result.”The post was met with skepticism from the community in its authenticity, and a VentureBeat email to a Meta spokesperson has not yet received a reply. But other users found reasons to doubt the benchmarks regardless
Additionally, Meta introduced Llama 4 Behemoth, describing it as one of the smartest large language models (LLMs) yet, and the most powerful version they've developed.
