Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct
70B Meta model matching 405B-class performance at a fraction of cost.
About
Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct is Meta's December 2024 instruction-tuned release, notable for matching or beating the much larger Llama 3.1 405B on instruction following and math benchmarks while using far less compute. It supports 8 languages and a 128K context window.
Released under the Llama 3.3 Community License, it quickly became the default open-weight choice for production chat, RAG, and agent workloads where 70B-class quality is needed without 400B-class infrastructure.
