Strengths
Meta releases Llama 4 Maverick with open weights, so teams can validate behavior against a published model and avoid lock-in to a single closed system.
A 1,048,576-token context window lets Maverick process very large documents, codebases, or conversation histories in one request, with up to 16,384 output tokens.
Maverick is the more capable of Meta's Llama 4 pair, outperforming the smaller Scout on reasoning and general tasks while keeping open weights.
At $0.22 per 1M input and $0.89 per 1M output tokens, it delivers frontier-scale context and open-weight flexibility at a low price point.

Llama 4 Maverick API: Meta's capable open-weight model with 1M context
Llama 4 Maverick is the larger and more capable model in Meta's Llama 4 release, an open-weight model with a million-token context window aimed at teams that want capability without closed-system lock-in.
Through YepAPI you access Llama 4 Maverick on one OpenAI-compatible endpoint at $0.22 per 1M input and $0.89 per 1M output tokens, with a 1,048,576-token context window.
What is Llama 4 Maverick?
Llama 4 Maverick is Meta's higher-tier Llama 4 model, sitting above the smaller Llama 4 Scout in capability. As an open-weight model, its parameters are published, which appeals to teams that value transparency, the option to self-host, and freedom from dependence on any single closed provider. Maverick pairs that openness with a 1,048,576-token context window and up to 16,384 output tokens, letting it reason over very large inputs. It is positioned as a general-purpose model strong on reasoning, instruction following, and coding, making it a flexible default for builders who prefer the open Llama ecosystem.
Build with Llama 4 Maverick via YepAPI
Call Llama 4 Maverick through YepAPI's OpenAI-compatible /v1/ai/chat endpoint. Point your OpenAI SDK at YepAPI, set the model string to llama-maverick, and you are running Meta's open-weight model; switching to any other model later is a single-string edit. One YepAPI key also covers every other model plus SEO, SERP, and web-scraping tools, so you can prototype on Maverick and route specific tasks elsewhere without changing providers or keys.
Llama 4 Maverick API pricing — $0.22 / $0.89 per 1M tokens
Llama 4 Maverick costs $0.22 per 1M input tokens and $0.89 per 1M output tokens on YepAPI. That pricing is notable given the million-token context and open-weight pedigree: it lets you feed very large inputs affordably while keeping the option to compare against a publicly available model. For long-context summarization and analysis, the low input rate keeps the dominant cost manageable at scale.
Llama 4 Maverick for open-weight, long-context builds
Maverick suits teams that want a capable, transparent model for long-context work: analyzing large documents or entire codebases, multi-turn assistants with long histories, and general reasoning where the published weights aid evaluation and reduce lock-in risk. It is also a sensible benchmark, since its open nature makes its behavior easier to study. The 1M window means heavy chunking is rarely needed for large inputs.
