Meta just released Llama 4, a family of three new multimodal AI models designed to offer industry-leading performance in text and image understanding.
Key Details:
Hereāre five key terms you need to know:
Tokens: The smallest units of data used to process and generate text.
Multimodal AI Models: Can process, analyze, and generate text, images, audio, video, or code.
Context Window: The amount of tokens a multimodal AI model can consider or ārememberā when generating outputs.
Parameters: Internal settings like weights and biases that help multimodal AI models understand and predict words.
Mixture of Experts (MoEs): Multiple smaller AI models that act as āmini-expertsā in different domains to tackle different parts of complex problems at the same time.
The three new multimodal AI models include:
Llama 4 Scout: 17 billion active parameters equipped with 16 MoEs and a 10 million token context window. It runs on a single NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU.
Llama 4 Maverick: 17 billion active parameters equipped with 128 MoEs and a 1 million token context window. It runs on the NVIDIA DGX H100.
Llama 4 Behemoth: 228 billion active parameters with 16 MoEs. Itās expected to outperform OpenAIās GPT-4.5 and Anthropicās Claude 3.7 Sonnet in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
Why Itās Important:
āWeāre gonna share more about Llama 4 Reasoning soon,ā said Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Heās referring to Metaās version of a Reasoning Engine thatāll mimic a humanās decision-making capabilities.
Llama 4 Maverick achieved 69.8% accuracy on the Graduate-Level Google-Proof Q&A (GPQA) Diamond benchmark, which involves 448 multiple-choice questions crafted by domain experts in biology, physics, and chemistry. For context, Googleās Gemini 2.0 Flash achieved 60.1% accuracy, and OpenAIās GPT-4o (āoā for āomniā) achieved 53.6% accuracy.

āļøAI Teaches Itself to Mine Diamond Ore in Minecraft

Google DeeMind developed āDreamerV3,ā an AI System that autonomously learned to mine Diamond Ore in Minecraft without any human intervention in just nine days.
Key Details:
In Minecraft, players explore a virtual 3D world containing a variety of terrains, including forests, mountains, deserts, and swamps. They use the virtual 3D worldās resources to collect items like oak logs, sandstone, and diamond ore to create objects like chests, fences, and swords.
āDreamerV3ā wasnāt given any step-by-step instructions by humans. Instead, it was encouraged to explore the virtual 3D world and absorb information to identify potential actions.
For example, āDreamerV3ā observed that chopping down oak trees located in forests yielded oak logs. This observation established an essential relationship between an action and the consequence of that action.
āDreamerV3ā leveraged Reinforcement Learning (RL), which mimics the ātrial-and-errorā process humans use to learn, where actions that lead to desired outcomes are reinforced.
Why Itās Important:
The 3D virtual world was reset every 30 minutes, forcing āDreamerV3ā to adapt to a new randomly generated environment. Despite these constant changes, āDreamerV3ā rapidly improved.
āYou must really understand whatās in front of you; you canāt just memorize a specific strategy,ā said Google DeepMind Research Scientist Danijar Hafner. āIt forces the AI System to self-improve over time.ā
