Llama 4 Scout's headline feature remains unmatched a year later: a 10 million token context window, an order of magnitude beyond anything else in this catalog. Real-world recall at extreme lengths is imperfect, but for sheer ingest capacity — entire codebases, document archives, books — nothing else comes close. It runs (quantized) on a single H100, making it a practical local multimodal workhorse.
