Llama 3.2 Instruct 90B (Vision)
Analysis Summary
Llama 3.2 Instruct 90B Vision is Meta's older multimodal instruction model, combining text and image capability with a relatively low price of $1.38 per million tokens for both input and output. It provides a practical foundation for basic visual question answering, summarisation, and straightforward content assistance.
For business workflows, it can support image-aware content triage, simple descriptions, and low-risk drafting where latency and cost matter more than deep reasoning. The measured reasoning and coding profile is far below current flagship standards, so it is not a suitable choice for complex agents, demanding SEO strategy, or production software engineering. Consider it for narrow, high-volume multimodal tasks with human review.
