The verdict
These two models don't yet share verified results on the benchmarks we track, so judge them on specs, pricing and intended use. On price the gap is dramatic: Llama 4 Scout works out roughly 106x cheaper per blended million tokens. Llama 4 Scout also takes 10M of context versus 200K for Claude Opus 4.1. And Llama 4 Scout is open-weights (Llama 4 Community License), so it can be self-hosted — a structural advantage if data control or vendor independence matters.
