Meta
Meta has positioned itself as the champion of open-source AI. Their Llama 4 family includes Scout (with a record 10 million token context window) and Maverick (which competes with proprietary mid-tier models on benchmarks). All Llama models are free to download and self-host under the Llama Community License, making Meta the most important player for teams that need on-premise deployments, fine-tuning, or zero marginal inference cost.
