First Meta Superintelligence Labs model, a closed, natively multimodal reasoning model on a rebuilt stack and Meta's first flagship without open weights.

New architecture, data and infra rebuilt from scratch; Meta says it reaches Llama 4 Maverick capability with over an order of magnitude less pretraining compute. Adds visual chain of thought, tool use, and a Contemplating mode that runs parallel agents. Larger models said to be in development.
