Meta

Meta offers multi-modal language models with strong text understanding and visual intelligence. We recommend experimenting to find the best-suited model for your use-case. Here are some general recommendations:

Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct-FP8: Excellent performance for most general tasks, including multi-modal scenarios.
Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct: Strong instruction-following model for complex reasoning tasks.

Installation

uv pip install -U llama-api-client agno

Authentication

Set your LLAMA_API_KEY environment variable:

setx LLAMA_API_KEY YOUR_API_KEY

Example

Use Llama with your Agent:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.meta import Llama

agent = Agent(
    model=Llama(id="Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct-FP8"),
    markdown=True
)

agent.print_response("Share a 2 sentence horror story.")

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`id`	`str`	`"Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct-FP8"`	The id of the Meta model to use
`name`	`str`	`"Llama"`	The name of the model
`provider`	`str`	`"Llama"`	The provider of the model
`api_key`	`Optional[str]`	`None`	The API key for the Llama API (defaults to `LLAMA_API_KEY` env var)
`base_url`	`Optional[Union[str, httpx.URL]]`	`None`	The base URL for the Llama API (defaults to the Llama SDK default)

OpenAI-like Parameters

Agno also provides LlamaOpenAI, a client that calls the Llama API through its OpenAI-compatible endpoint (https://api.llama.com/compat/v1/). It uses the openai package. Install it with uv pip install -U openai. Use it in place of Llama when you want OpenAI-style request handling:

from agno.models.meta import LlamaOpenAI

agent = Agent(model=LlamaOpenAI(id="Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct-FP8"))

LlamaOpenAI supports all parameters from OpenAI Like.
