🤝IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WRITER

You’ve heard the hype. It’s time for results.

After two years of siloed experiments, proofs of concept that fail to scale, and disappointing ROI, most enterprises are stuck. AI isn't transforming their organizations — it’s adding complexity, friction, and frustration.

But Writer customers are seeing positive impact across their companies. Our end-to-end approach is delivering adoption and ROI at scale. Now, we’re applying that same platform and technology to build agentic AI that actually works for every enterprise.

This isn’t just another hype train that overpromises and underdelivers.
It’s the AI you’ve been waiting for — and it’s going to change the way enterprises operate. Be among the first to see end-to-end agentic AI in action. Join us for a live product release on April 10 at 2pm ET (11am PT).

Can't make it live? No worries — register anyway and we'll send you the recording!

Meta's Llama 4 Models Transforming AI with Unprecedented Contributions to Multimodal Experiences

Intelligence: Meta introduces the Llama 4 series, featuring groundbreaking models Llama 4 Scout, Llama 4 Maverick, and the powerful Llama 4 Behemoth, designed to enhance personalized multimodal experiences with advanced intelligence and flexibility.

• New models:

  • Llama 4 Scout is a 17 billion active parameter model with 16 experts, recognized as the best in its class for multimodal capabilities, featuring an industry-leading context window of 10 million tokens.

  • Llama 4 Maverick is a 17 billion active parameter model with 128 experts, surpassing competitors like GPT-4o in performance across various benchmarks, particularly in reasoning and coding tasks.

  • Llama 4 Behemoth is a proposed teacher model with a staggering 288 billion active parameters, intended to enhance the effectiveness of both Scout and Maverick by demonstrating superior intelligence and performance benchmarks in math and multilingual tasks.

• Behemoth outperforms models like GPT-4.5 and Claude Sonnet 3.7 in STEM benchmarks, positioning it as a foundational model for creating superior versions of the lighter models.

• All models employ early fusion for seamless integration of textual and visual data, enhancing their multimodal understanding capabilities.

• The training data for the Llama 4 series was significantly larger and more diverse than previous iterations, improving language and visual processing.
