Llama 4 Scout 17B 16E Instruct is an instruction-tuned, natively multimodal auto-regressive model developed by Meta, built on a mixture-of-experts architecture with 17B activated parameters (109B total). Designed for assistant-style and vision-language workloads, it supports multilingual text and image inputs and produces multilingual text and code outputs. The model features a native 10 million token context window, enabling extremely long-context analysis across documents, conversations, and multimodal inputs. It was trained on a mixture of publicly available and licensed data, including data from Meta’s products, with a knowledge cutoff of August 2024, and officially released on April 5, 2025.
