Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
Llama 4 Behemoth supports multimodal inputs. Both models have their strengths depending on your specific coding needs.
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.
Alibaba / Qwen
Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct is a 7-billion-parameter open-weight language model from Alibaba's Qwen team, released in September 2024 as part of the Qwen2.5 series trained on 18 trillion tokens with improved code, math, and multilingual coverage. The model delivers significantly stronger instruction-following, structured output generation, and long-context handling compared to its predecessor, supporting 128K context windows in a compact form factor. It became widely adopted as a foundation for fine-tuning, RAG pipelines, and on-device deployment due to its balance of capability and efficiency.
