Meta Unveils Llama 4 with Expanded Context Window
Meta has announced Llama 4, a new generation of multimodal AI models. The new series includes specialised variants and enhanced capabilities for context and image processing.
What happened?
Meta has unveiled the Llama 4 AI model, a new generation of the company’s open multimodal AI systems. The series comprises three specialised variants: Behemoth, Maverick, and Scout. The Scout model is distinguished by a context window of up to 10 million tokens, allowing for the processing of vast datasets in a single pass.

Why it matters
The launch marks a significant increase in the capacity of open and accessible multimodal AI systems. By offering direct processing of both text and visual data while expanding the context window, Meta aims to challenge closed commercial alternatives such as GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash.
Who is affected?
Llama 4 is aimed at developers and researchers building applications based on open AI models, while also impacting end-users through the integration of the technology into services such as WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram via Meta AI.
Impact on the EU
The Llama 4 models are released via platforms such as Hugging Face and Meta's own channels. For European users and companies, the use of open weights means that local data protection regulations and the EU AI Act must be observed during distribution and further development.
What else you should know
The source material indicates a launch of the model series in September 2025, with integration into Meta's consumer services. Claims regarding performance and context windows are based on the developer's own specifications and benchmark tests.
