Kevin’s take
“Llama 4 is Meta's current downloadable AI family. Scout and Maverick can understand text and images, and Scout can handle exceptionally long context. It is free to download under Meta's community license, but that license has conditions, so 'open weights' is more accurate than calling it fully open source.”
