Meta Llama 4 Scout 17B 16E Instruct FP8 parameters

These are the parameters modelparams.dev tracks for Meta Llama 4 Scout 17B 16E Instruct FP8. Each row gives the type, default, valid range or values, and the conditions that gate it. It's the same data the JSON API serves.

Length 1 param
Parameter Type Default Description Condition
Max completion tokens
max_completion_tokens
integer (1…+∞) Maximum number of output tokens the model may generate.
Sampling 4 params
Parameter Type Default Description Condition
Temperature
temperature
number Controls randomness. Lower values make outputs more focused; higher values make them more varied.
Top P
top_p
number Controls nucleus sampling by limiting generation to tokens within the selected cumulative probability.
Top K
top_k
integer Limits generation to the selected number of highest-probability tokens.
Repetition penalty
repetition_penalty
number Penalizes tokens that have already appeared to reduce repetition in the output.
Tools 1 param
Parameter Type Default Description Condition
Tool choice
tool_choice
enum (auto | none | required) Controls whether the model may call tools, must call one, or skips tool calls.
Output 1 param
Parameter Type Default Description Condition
Response format
response_format.type
enum (text | json_schema) "text" Controls whether the model returns normal text or a schema-constrained JSON object.

modelparams.dev is an open, community-maintained catalog of model parameters. Each entry shows the knobs you can turn — type, default, range, and the conditions that gate it.

The same model accessed via an API key and via a subscription usually exposes a different set of parameters. We list both as separate entries so the data stays honest.

Catalog API

The full catalog is static JSON, CORS-enabled, served from the edge.

curl https://modelparams.dev/api/v1/models.json

Each entry is keyed by provider/model for API-key variants; subscription variants append -subscription.

If you only need the params for one model contract, use the providerless endpoint. Subscription contracts are model slugs with -subscription.

curl https://modelparams.dev/api/v1/params/gpt-5.5.json
curl https://modelparams.dev/api/v1/params/gpt-5.5-subscription.json

Single model

curl https://modelparams.dev/api/v1/models/anthropic/claude-opus-4-7.json
curl https://modelparams.dev/api/v1/models/anthropic/claude-opus-4-7-subscription.json

JSON Schema

Every entry validates against a JSON Schema you can use in your editor or pipeline.

curl https://modelparams.dev/api/v1/schema.json

Add this header to any YAML you author for autocomplete in VS Code:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://modelparams.dev/api/v1/schema.json

Logos

Provider logos are available at /assets/logos/{provider}.svg where {provider} is the provider slug. They use currentColor so they inherit your text color.

curl https://modelparams.dev/assets/logos/anthropic.svg

Logos are sourced from the models.dev repo (MIT) and used under nominative fair use.

Contribute

The data lives in YAML under models/{provider}/{model}-{auth}.yaml in the GitHub repo. Open a PR; CI validates against the schema and rebuilds.
