What stands out

What its maker marketed at launch, and what people found later, each with its source.

  • 10M-token context (claimed)

    Meta advertised an ‘industry-leading’ 10M-token context via the iRoPE architecture; hosted providers typically serve far less (e.g. ~1.3M on OpenRouter).

    Source: ai.meta.com

  • Single-H100 multimodal MoE

    17B active / 16 experts / 109B total; fits one H100 with Int4 quantization.
