Catalogue only

This model is catalogued for reference. It is not hosted on LLM EU yet, and no first-party endpoint serves it here. Requests to it go to the provider directly, under that provider's own terms.

Summary

Llama 4 Scout is a natively multimodal mixture-of-experts model with 17B active parameters, 16 experts and 109B total parameters. Meta advertises a 10 million token context window for it, the largest of any Llama release, and states it fits on a single H100 with Int4 quantisation. It is released under the Llama 4 Community License, which keeps the 700M monthly-active-user threshold.

Not verified: the provider has not documented this claim. — a language is listed as strong only where a source claims it; the card links the evidence where one exists.

When to use it

Strengths

  • 10M-token context window, the longest published in the Llama line
  • multimodal input with image grounding
  • fits a single H100 at Int4 quantisation

Limits

  • Llama 4 Community License, not an OSI licence
  • 109B total parameters make full-precision serving expensive
  • long-context quality at the 10M limit is not independently verified

Frequently asked questions

Is Llama 4 Scout 17B-16E Instruct served on LLM EU?
