Editorial Analysis

Profile. Llama 4 Maverick is a budget-tier option from Meta at $0.91/M output tokens. Despite the low price, it scores competitively on Coding Index (16.3) and Intelligence Index (14.5) — making it a candidate for high-volume production workloads where unit cost dominates.

Latency. On latency, Llama 4 Maverick reports 86 tok/s output speed and 910ms time-to-first-token. Output speed is on the slower end; for real-time chat consider pairing with a streaming front-end or routing latency-sensitive requests to a faster model.

Cost model. For a workload of 1M input tokens + 100K output tokens, Llama 4 Maverick costs $0.35 per million input-equivalent requests. Multiply by your monthly request volume to project the bill, and compare against the speed/correctness profile above to decide if the trade-off is worth it for your workload.
