Zucc What are we DOING?! Llama 4 Launches with... Interesting Results

From the creator

In this video, I discuss Meta's recent release of the LLAMA 4 series of models and why it has generated significant controversy and backlash within the AI community. Despite promising big strides in AI with features like multimodal intelligence and colossal token contexts, the models face criticism for not meeting expectations. We compare the smaller LAMA 4 Scout, mid-sized LLAMA 4 Maverick, and the unreleased LLAMA 4 Behemoth against industry benchmarks. Moreover, reports suggest potential manipulations to inflate benchmark results, leading to severe credibility issues for Meta. I delve into community reactions, real-world test results, and industry opinion on the models' actual performance. This episode uncovers why LLAMA 4's launch has been deemed a tragic misstep for Meta. ▼ Link(s) From Today’s Video: Official blog: https://ai.meta.com/blog/llama-4-multimodal-intelligence/ Huggingface Models: https://huggingface.co/meta-llama Chubby's Initial Excitement: https://x.com/kimmonismus/status/1908797575265742911 Pliny's Llama 4 Jailbreak: https://x.com/elder_plinius/status/1908607836730372561 Jimmy Apples Vibe Check: https://x.com/apples_jimmy/status/1908993646504091839 Flavio Coding Test: https://x.com/flavioAd/status/1908908754659115356 EQ Bench: https://eqbench.com/creative_writing_longform.html Kalomaze' Testing: https://x.com/kalomaze/status/1908695425286012959 Meta Nerfed benchmarks Reddit post: https://x.com/ns123abc/status/1909111648838688905/photo/1 https://x.com/Yuchenj_UW/status/1909061004207816960 https://x.com/kimmonismus/status/1909176824263053538 Misguided Attention Eval: https://x.com/teortaxesTex/status/1909074427116986457 Bad Context Window testing: https://x.com/kimmonismus/status/1909245779136348590 Polyglot test: https://x.com/techikansh/status/1909203507879477745 Old "leak" from 2 months ago: https://x.com/TheAhmadOsman/status/1908833792111906894 ► MattVidPro Discord: https://discord.gg/mattvidpro ► Follow Me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MattVidPro ► Buy me a Coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/mattvidpro ------------------------------------------------- ▼ Extra Links of Interest: General AI Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrfI66qWYbW3acrBQ4qltDBsjxaoGSl3I AI I use to edit videos: https://www.descript.com/?lmref=nA4fDg Instagram: instagram.com/mattvidpro Tiktok: tiktok.com/@mattvidpro Gaming & Extras Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MattVidProGaming Let's work together! - For brand & sponsorship inquiries: https://tally.so/r/3xdz4E - For all other business inquiries: mattvidpro@smoothmedia.co Thanks for watching Matt Video Productions!

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
