  • Reasoning: The ability of a model to understand and solve problems.
  • Code Generation: The ability of a model to write functional code.

1. Introduction to Llama 4

  • Llama 4 has been released by Meta (Mark Zuckerberg).
  • According to LM Arena, Llama 4 is outperforming models like ChatGPT-4o, Grok, Deepseek R1, and Gemini 2.0.
  • Llama 4 offers a 10 million token context window and is free to use via Open Router or LM Arena.
  • Three models were released: Llama 4 Scout (lightweight), Llama 4 Maverick, and a preview of Llama 4 Bearmouth (still in training).

2. HTML Generation Test: Llama 4 Maverick vs. Claude 3 Sonnet

  • Prompt: Create an AI-powered audit tool for Goldie Agency that analyzes a business's operations and suggests automation opportunities in HTML. Users must enter their details.
  • Claude 3 Sonnet immediately started coding, while Llama 4 planned its approach first.
  • Claude 3 Sonnet created a single HTML file, while Llama 4 separated CSS and HTML.
  • Result: Llama 4's output was preferred because the form was functional, allowing users to input data and select options. Claude 3 Sonnet's output lacked a functional button.
  • Conclusion: Llama 4 wins due to functionality, despite design flaws.

3. Reasoning Test: Llama 4 Maverick vs. Grok 3 Preview

  • Prompt: There's a tree on the other side of a river in winter. How can I pick an apple?
  • Llama 4's output was better formatted and easier to read.

  • Despite not following instructions, Llama 4's snake game was functional and fast.
  • DeepSeek 1 created a single HTML file but the game failed to function correctly.
  • Result: Llama 4's functional game, despite the multi-file output, was preferred over DeepSeek 1's broken game.
  • Conclusion: Llama 4 beats DeepSeek 1 in this test due to a working output.

  • Prompt: Make me captivate an endless runner game. Key instructions on screen. Use p5.js, no HTML, pixelated down, and interesting backgrounds.
  • Llama 4 generated JavaScript code quickly, but the resulting game was broken and appeared "drunk."
  • Gemini 2.5 Pro took longer but produced a functional and visually appealing pixelated dinosaur game.
  • Result: Gemini 2.5 Pro's output was significantly better in terms of functionality and quality.
  • Conclusion: Gemini 2.5 Pro is superior for this task, producing a working game while Llama 4 failed.
