Llama 4 Scout

Llama 4 Scout is the lightweight, single-GPU Llama 4 with a record 10M-token context — the most self-hostable open multimodal model for cost-constrained teams.

Best for

• Industry-leading 10M-token context for long docs / whole codebases
• Single-GPU self-hosting — the most deployable Llama 4
• Cost-efficient multimodal assistant (17B active)

How it compares — and the India angle

• Its 10M context + single-GPU footprint make it the most practical Llama 4 for Indian SMEs/colleges with limited hardware.
• Open-weight and free — self-host in-region for full data control vs a US API.
• Independent tests found real-world long-context retrieval weaker than the 10M headline — validate on your own data.
