Decision reading
Llama 4 Maverick scores 22.9 out of 100 and ranks #220 of 230. This profile shows 1 source-displayable benchmark rows. Published weights can be self-hosted, but infrastructure cost varies and is not a comparable API token rate.

Data as of September 2, 2026 · How the score is built

Strongest published evidence

Published rows are visible, but no category has enough eligible evidence for a comparative rank.

Validate before choosing

1 published rows leave some tracked benchmark slots empty. No comparable first-party API token rate is published.

Decision snapshot

Each value carries a field reference instead of floating alone. Markers compare this model with the current ranked and priced catalog; they are not absolute quality thresholds.

How much of this is verified

Coverage is split by category so a strong number never hides a thin evidence base. Verified means the row is tied to a published source; provisional rows remain visible but separate.

Deployment options

Self-host and provider-specific paths stay separate from benchmark evidence so operating constraints are visible before a score becomes the whole decision.

Frequently asked questions

How does Llama 4 Maverick perform overall in AI benchmarks?

Llama 4 Maverick ranks #220 out of 230 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 22.86/100. Its evidence status is Supported, and this profile shows 1 source-displayable benchmark row. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.

Is Llama 4 Maverick good for mathematics?

Llama 4 Maverick has source-displayable benchmark coverage for mathematics, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is Llama 4 Maverick open source?

Llama 4 Maverick is an open-weight model from Meta. Its weights can be downloaded for local or hosted deployment, subject to the published license. Open weight does not automatically mean open source: training data and training code may remain private, and commercial restrictions can still apply.

Does Llama 4 Maverick have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. Llama 4 Maverick currently has 18 source-displayable rows across 416 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.

What is the context window size of Llama 4 Maverick?

Llama 4 Maverick has a reported context window of 1M in the exact-model catalog record. The value stays visible, but the profile marks its source link as unavailable instead of presenting it as directly documented. Maximum output length remains separate because providers often publish a different limit.
