Llama 3.2 Instruct 90B (Vision)
Analysis Summary
Llama 3.2 Instruct 90B (Vision) is Meta's large vision-language model from late 2024, offering image understanding alongside text generation at a relatively low price of $1.38 per million tokens for both input and output. Its MMLU Pro score of 67.1% and GPQA of 43.2% reflect competent but not exceptional general reasoning, and its livecodebench score of 21.4% limits its usefulness for serious coding tasks.
The vision capability is a genuine differentiator for businesses needing image analysis, document parsing, or multimodal content workflows at moderate cost. However, with an intelligence index of just 6.2, it falls far short of current mid-tier models for complex reasoning, agentic tasks, or high-stakes content generation. It is best suited to lighter workloads where vision is required and budget is a constraint.
For teams that need a cost-effective multimodal model for straightforward tasks, this remains a viable option. Teams with more demanding requirements should look to more recent models with stronger reasoning benchmarks.
