Getting Started
- Visit llama.meta.com and request access to the Llama 4 model weights by agreeing to the community license.
- Download the model weights via the official CLI or through Hugging Face Hub.
- Run Llama locally using tools like Ollama, vLLM, or llama.cpp for optimized inference on consumer hardware.
- Fine-tune the model on your own data using frameworks like Hugging Face Transformers or Axolotl.
Key Features
- Multiple model sizes ranging from 8B to 405B parameters, enabling deployment from edge devices to data centers.
- Open-weight license allows commercial use, fine-tuning, and redistribution within Meta’s community license terms.
- State-of-the-art reasoning competitive with closed-source models on math, coding, and general knowledge benchmarks.
- Extensive ecosystem with support across all major inference frameworks, cloud providers, and fine-tuning tools.
- Multilingual support across dozens of languages with strong performance on non-English benchmarks.
- Optimized for efficiency with grouped-query attention and other architectural improvements for faster inference.
