About this model
Llama 4 Scout is Meta's natively multimodal model that enables text and image understanding. With a 17 billion parameter mixture-of-experts architecture (16 experts), this model offers industry-leading performance for multimodal tasks like natural assistant-like chat, image recognition, and coding tasks. With a 128K token context window and support for 12 languages (Arabic, English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalog, Thai, and Vietnamese), the model delivers exceptional capabilities, especially when paired with Groq for fast inference.
Best suited for
- Knowledge-intensive reasoning, long-context analysis, large-scale document processing, multimodal (text/image) tasks, and deep research workflows requiring massive context windows.
Built-in tools
Hosted by the gateway — enable them per request without wiring your own endpoint.
Capabilities
Vision
Accepts images alongside text in the same message.
Tools
Native function calling, so agents can invoke your endpoints.
System prompt
Honours a dedicated system role, separate from the user turn.
Supported parameters
creativity_levelControls the creativity of responses. Higher values (e.g., 0.7) increase creativity; lower values (e.g., 0.2) make responses more predictable.
max_tokensMax Tokens LimitSpecifies the maximum number of text units (tokens) allowed in a response, limiting its length.
log_probabilityIf true, returns the log probabilities of each output token returned in the content of message.
repetition_penaltyThe `frequency_penalty` controls how often the model repeats itself, with higher positive values reducing repetition and negative values encouraging it.
novelty_penaltyDiscourages responses that are too similar to previous ones.
stopThis parameter tells the model to stop generating text when it reaches any of the specified sequences (like a word or punctuation)
toolsLists tool definitions or capabilities available to the model.
tool_choiceDecides whether to use tools or just the model for generating responses.
response_typeDefines the format or type of the generated response.
streamSends the response in real-time as it's being generated.
