LLaMA vs Molmo AI

Which should you choose?

LLaMA is the proven choice for developers needing self-hosted text generation at scale; Molmo AI is positioned as a multimodal alternative but lacks clarity on actual capabilities and deployment. LLaMA 2's 4K context window and dated architecture make it unsuitable for new projects—Llama 3+ are better bets. Molmo claims multimodal efficiency and state-of-the-art performance but provides no benchmarks, model sizes, or deployment guidance. LLaMA wins on transparency: concrete model variants (7B/13B/70B), published benchmarks, and established cloud integrations. Pick LLaMA if you need production-grade text generation today with full control. Pick Molmo only if multimodal processing is essential and you can tolerate sparse documentation.
