MetaLlama 4 Maverick
Llama 4 Maverick is a Meta open-weights model, released 5 Apr 2025. Its best configuration ranks #584 of 785 on the BenchLeader Index at 42.8 ±3.8, in the lower half. The ± is the point: 286 other configurations score within that range, so they and this one cannot be told apart on quality alone — price and speed are what separate them. It scores highest in instruction following (50) and lowest in coding (30). At $0.418 per million tokens blended it is cheaper than most ranked models. Output speed of 49 tokens per second puts it in the slowest quarter, with a first answer in 1.1 s. Last measured 22 Oct 2026.

How its index has moved
8 Sept 2026 to 21 Oct 2026The index is recomputed from scratch every day, so a line moves when a new benchmark result lands, when a publisher revises a score, or when the models it is normalised against change. Early movement usually means the score is still settling.
