Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Llama 4 Behemoth supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
NVIDIA
Llama-3.1-Nemotron-Nano-8B-v1 is an 8-billion-parameter model from NVIDIA, developed as a fine-tuned variant of Meta's Llama 3.1 8B using NVIDIA's Nemotron post-training methodology, which applies reinforcement learning and process reward modeling to enhance instruction-following and reasoning capability over the base model. The Nano designation marks it as the entry-level member of the Nemotron family, optimized for efficient inference on a single GPU while delivering meaningfully improved performance on instruction alignment and agentic tasks compared to standard Llama 3.1. Released open-weight on HuggingFace, it is designed for deployment in NVIDIA-accelerated environments and supports NVIDIA NIM for enterprise inference.
Meta AI
Llama 4 Behemoth is a research-scale Mixture-of-Experts language model with approximately 2 trillion total parameters (288 billion active per inference), developed by Meta as a teacher model for the Llama 4 family. Available only in limited preview, it serves as the knowledge distillation source for Llama 4 Scout and Maverick. Behemoth targets research applications requiring the largest-scale open-weight model architecture from the Llama 4 generation.
