Llama 4 local model profile

Evidence snapshot: 2026-09-06

Llama 4 is a local model family available through Ollama. The published local profile lists Scout / Maverick variants, 1M-10M context, and a typical 67-245GB download range; effective speed and capacity depend on hardware and quantization.

Llama 4 is a local model family available through Ollama. It is intended for large-hardware multimodal work and very long local context, with Scout / Maverick variants and a typical 67-245GB download range. Effective context, speed, and quality depend on the selected quantization and hardware.

Llama 4 runs on your own hardware through Ollama in Kendr Desktop, so the trade it asks you to make is machine capacity against privacy and per-token cost, not price per million.

Llama 4 is documented as a local Ollama family. This page does not claim a Kendr-hosted API route, hosted availability, a Kendr markup, or a routing receipt.

Llama 4 accepts text and image and returns text. The snapshot records text, image, and tools as capabilities or interfaces.

$0 token fee. Hardware, storage, memory, electricity, and operational costs remain user-provided.

No comparable third-party benchmark value is present in the 2026-09-06 snapshot. Missing values are not estimated.

No comparable popularity rank or traffic share is present in the 2026-09-06 snapshot. No comparable routing rank or traffic-share observation is attached to this dated profile; missing adoption evidence is not estimated.

When to pick Llama 4

Llama 4 runs on your own hardware through Ollama in Kendr Desktop, so the trade it asks you to make is machine capacity against privacy and per-token cost, not price per million.

Each condition below is derived from this model's own values in the 2026-09-06 snapshot, compared only against models publishing the same field.

Reach for it when the data cannot leave your machine. This family runs locally through Ollama in Kendr Desktop, at a typical download of 67-245GB. There is no token fee and no cloud round trip, and the cost is the hardware you run it on.
Reach for it when the input includes images. The snapshot records image input, so screenshots, scans, and diagrams can be sent directly instead of described.
Reach for it when the model has to call tools. Tool calling is recorded in the snapshot, so this route can drive an agent loop rather than only answer in prose.
