About

Llama 4 Scout is Meta's natively multimodal Mixture-of-Experts model — 17B active parameters across 16 experts (109B total) — built for long-context text and image understanding at low cost.

Key Features:

  • 327,680-token context window
  • Up to 16,384 output tokens
  • Natively multimodal: text and image input
  • Mixture-of-Experts: 17B activated / 109B total parameters
  • Function/tool calling and structured outputs (JSON schema)
  • Non-reasoning: direct answers, no thinking budget

Best For:

  • Long-document and long-conversation understanding
  • Image understanding, OCR and visual Q&A
  • High-volume tool-using workflows where cost per token matters
  • General-purpose chat at a low price point
