    Security, safety & abuse risks

    • Incorrect or fabricated responses can mislead users, especially when consequential claims are not independently checked.
    • Biased, harmful or inappropriate outputs remain possible despite safety training.
    • Adversarial prompting can challenge model safeguards; deployed applications need additional protections and monitoring.
    • Downloadable weights permit modifications that can weaken safeguards or enable prohibited uses.

    Known flaws & limitations

    • The documented training-data cutoff is August 2024; newer facts require external information.
    • Outputs are text only; native image, audio and video generation are not supported.
    • The advertised single-H100 deployment uses Int4 quantization, not full-precision weights.
    • Distribution and commercial use remain subject to the Llama 4 Community License and Acceptable Use Policy.

    What this means if you are building on it

    • Autonomous medical, legal or other high-stakes decisions without qualified oversight.
    • Current-events answers without retrieval or another reliable external information source.
    • Applications requiring native audio, image or video generation.
    • Deployments requiring unrestricted licensing or assuming full-precision operation on one H100.

    Everything here comes from published documentation, advisories and reporting, with links to the original sources. It is not a complete vulnerability database — always check the provider's own security notices before shipping.
