Meta Chat and reasoning models Upgrade to use meta-llama/llama-4-scout
Llama 4 Scout is Meta’s efficient, long-context multimodal chat model suited for analyzing huge documents and codebases in a single pass. It is for developers, legal and research teams, and support ops who need one model to read millions of tokens and answer or summarize without chunking.
What it can do
- Reads images and screenshots
- Searches the live web and cites sources
What people use it for
Full-codebase review and refactor
Send an entire repository or multi-file patch and get a single-pass review, function-level summaries, and a prioritized list of refactors or tests to add. Scout’s very long context lets you keep call sites, docs and tests together so suggestions reference the full codebase.
Legal and compliance analysis of long contracts
Ingest multi-page contracts, exhibits and amendment histories and get clause extraction, risk flags, and an executive summary that references exact sections. You avoid building chunking pipelines because Scout is designed for million-token contexts used in legal and regulatory review.
Support transcripts and ticket triage
Feed months or years of chat logs, call transcripts, and customer feedback to produce consolidated issue lists, root-cause notes, and suggested SLA responses. The model’s long-context capability keeps conversation threads and prior tickets in view for accurate triage.
Why it is worth it
- Keep entire documents, threads, or repositories in a single prompt with no manual chunking.
- Process images and screenshots alongside text for visual examples and attachments.
- Low-cost per-message usage on Katteb, billed in credits so you track usage by message.
- Switch models mid-chat on Katteb to compare outputs from different frontiers without new sessions.
