Llama 4 Maverick 17B Instruct is the cataloged Instruct identity for Meta’s open Maverick weights. The 17B in the name describes active parameters, not the full size of the MoE model. It accepts text and images and provides about one million tokens of context.

The weights use the Llama 4 Community License. Llama 4 Maverick leads to the family checkpoint. Llama 4 Scout 17B Instruct is the parallel Scout variant with a larger context window. The model card lists Transformers, vLLM, and SGLang, plus quantizations for llama.cpp, Ollama, and LM Studio.
