Meta launches AI family Llama 4 — but the EU doesn’t get everything
Over the weekend, Meta took the opportunity to launch Llama 4, a new series of AI models trained on a large amount of text, images and videos.
According to Meta, Llama 4 is better than its competitors GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 in a number of areas, including programming, reasoning and language translation.
The two variants Llama 4 Scout and Llama 4 Maverick are available on Llama.com and Hugging Face now, while the top-of-the-line Llama 4 Behemoth will take a little longer.
Techcrunch points out that Meta has chosen to limit the use of the Llama 4 multimodal models within the European Union, likely due to the EU’s AI and data protection rules.
