In this episode, we explore Meta’s bold push into the AI arena with its Llama 4 models, Scout and Maverick, alongside the newly launched Llama API. While the models promise breakthroughs like a 10 million token context window and massive parameter scaling, early user feedback suggests performance still lags behind rivals like Qwen-QwQ. We also dive into the Llama API’s developer-friendly features, including OpenAI SDK compatibility, blazing-fast 2,600 tokens-per-second speeds via Cerebras and Groq, and Meta’s vision to reshape AI development workflows. Despite rocky beginnings, Meta’s platform signals major disruption ahead in the race for accessible, high-performance AI.
