Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Both models have similar pricing. Phi-4-multimodal-instruct supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
Meta
Llama 3.2 3B was created as an ultra-compact open-source model, designed to enable on-device and edge deployment scenarios. Built with just 3 billion parameters while retaining instruction-following abilities, it brings Meta's language technology to mobile devices, IoT applications, and resource-constrained environments.
Microsoft
Phi-4 Multimodal was created to handle multiple input modalities including text, images, and potentially other formats. Built to extend Phi-4's efficiency into multimodal applications, it demonstrates that compact models can successfully integrate diverse information types.
