Open Llama 4 Community weights, gated on Hugging Face, same gate as Maverick. Catalog hugging_face_id meta-llama/Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct. Created unix 1743881519 (5 Apr 2025). 1,310,720 in / 16,384 out.

Maverick is the 400B-A17B / 128E card on this hub (AA 14 on that card). Muse Spark 1.2 is a separate Meta identity, not a Llama 4 weight.

When not to use it

Trust this before you buy

  • Need Maverick (larger MoE, AA 14 on that card) or Muse Spark 1.2 (closed, AA on that card).
  • Need DeepSWE or vals Accuracy. Neither board printed a Scout row. Need an ungated download. The repo is gated.
  • AA $0.18 / $0.66 vs OpenRouter $0.10 / $0.30: two published tables. Invoice at the router you hit.

FAQ

Is Scout the same class as Maverick?

No. Maverick is 400B-A17B / 128E. Scout is 17B-A / 16E. Same Llama 4 family, different invoices and different AA integers.

Why does the lab blog disagree with DeepSWE or Scale?

Lab posts pick a harness, an effort, a split, and sometimes a private eval set. DeepSWE publishes the official mini-swe-agent row with cost, tokens, and steps. Scale SWE-bench Pro only counts when the public shared-harness board has a row we can fetch. A higher lab number is usually a different test, not a better one.

OpenAI-compatible call

No Continuum hosted id is verified for this model, so this page does not invent a curl target. Use the first-party API or the OpenRouter slug meta-llama/llama-4-scout.
