Llama 4 Behemoth

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.

ByteDance

Seed 2.0 Pro is ByteDance's flagship general-purpose model, released in February 2026 under the Doubao brand through the Volcengine API platform, developed by the company's Seed research team as a foundation for agentic applications requiring long-horizon reasoning and multimodal input comprehension. The model accepts text, images, and extended video — including hour-length recordings — targeting enterprise use cases in long-form document analysis, agentic coding (integrated with ByteDance's TRAE IDE), and multi-turn reasoning tasks. It anchors a three-tier product family alongside Seed 2.0 Lite and Mini, positioned as ByteDance's response to frontier model competition in the Chinese and global enterprise AI markets.
