“Artificial Analysis has independently benchmarked SambaNova’s cloud deployment of Meta’s Llama 4 Maverick model (400B total parameters, 17B active parameters) at 655 output tokens/s. This is the fastest output speed we have measured yet for Llama 4 Maverick, and it is several times faster than the fastest speeds achieved so far on GPUs. Llama 4 Maverick is Meta’s strongest model yet and a top choice for a wide range of workloads,” said Micah Hill-Smith, CEO & Co-Founder of Artificial Analysis.
Llama 4 Maverick, Meta’s flagship multimodal model featuring 400 billion total parameters/17 billion active parameters and 128 experts, outperforms industry competitors such as GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 Flash in multilingual and visual understanding benchmarks. Utilizing SambaNova’s advanced Reconfigurable Dataflow Unit (RDU) chips, Maverick on SambaNova Cloud delivers industry-leading performance with unparalleled computational efficiency.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Meta, bringing the fastest inference speeds ever recorded for Llama 4 Maverick to developers and enterprises,” stated Rodrigo Liang, CEO and co-founder of SambaNova. “This collaboration marks a significant leap forward in the efficiency and capability of multimodal AI models.”
This week, SambaNova will deliver multimodal capabilities and longer context lengths with Meta’s Llama 4 Maverick, enabling developers with image recognition and agentic capabilities.
SambaNova Cloud now offers Llama 4 Maverick at an attractive, cost-effective rate of $0.50 per million input tokens and $2.00 per million output tokens, making powerful multimodal AI accessible at scale.
