Auto-synced from OpenRouter — no editorial write-up yet.
Llama 4 Maverick
Strong multi-modal (text + image) open-weight model with a 1M-token context window — good for self-hosted or fine-tuned deployments.
Smaller completion-token cap (16K) than newer commercial models limits very long single-turn outputs — chunk long generations.
