What is Llama 4?

Meta Llama 4, released April 2025, is a multimodal, multilingual mixture-of-experts (MoE) AI model series. It includes Scout (17 B active params, 10 M context window), Maverick (17 B active params, 1 M context window), and the upcoming Behemoth (288 B active params, 2 T total). An experimental Maverick variant topped STEM benchmarks vs. GPT‑4o and Claude Sonnet 3.7 on LMArena, though later scrutiny revealed use of a custom-tuned version. Llama 4 powers Meta AI in WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram under a restrictive open-source license.

Why is Llama 4 better on Shakudo?

Llama 4’s architecture introduces multimodal reasoning at scale, but deploying it effectively requires infrastructure optimized for orchestration, resource allocation, and seamless integration with data systems. On Shakudo, Llama 4 runs alongside any combination of vector databases, ETL pipelines, and front-end interfaces—all auto-configured to interact without custom DevOps or manual plumbing.

Teams using Llama 4 off Shakudo often struggle with environment setup, managing dependencies, and fine-tuning workflows across tools. With Shakudo, that complexity disappears—teams immediately access Llama 4 in production-ready setups, authenticated within an organization’s stack, connected to live data, and fully auditable by design.

Instead of spending quarters on platform engineering, data teams plug Llama 4 into experiments that hit business dashboards in under a month. This speed—paired with the freedom to pivot tools as models evolve—means orgs can focus entirely on model outcomes without betting wrong on infrastructure choices.
