DeepSeek V4 Flash
Llama 4 MaverickDeepSeek V4 Flash 0423 is DeepSeek's efficiency-optimized Mixture-of-Experts text model, designed for fast inference and workflows requiring tool use, function calling, and structured outputs. It features 284B total parameters with 13B activated parameters and supports a 1M-token context window with cost-effective pricing.
Llama 4 Maverick is a high-capacity Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model from Meta, featuring 400B total parameters and 128 experts, while activating an efficient 17B parameters per inference. Engineered for peak performance, it excels at advanced multimodal tasks. Maverick natively supports text and image input, producing multilingual text and code. With a 1-million-token context window and instruction tuning, it is optimized for complex image reasoning and general-purpose assistant-like interactions. Released under the Llama 4 Community License, Maverick is ideal for research and commercial applications demanding state-of-the-art multimodal understanding and high throughput.
