Llama 3.1 405B is a released coding, long context, and classification model with open-weight and 128k context; evaluate it while provider pricing coverage matures.

Use it for

  • Teams evaluating coding, long context, and classification
  • Workloads that can use a 128k context window

Do not use it for

  • Cost-sensitive launches that need sourced token pricing
  • Vision or document-understanding workloads
  • Strict JSON or tool-calling flows

About

The Llama 3.1 405B model is a cutting-edge large language model released by Meta on July 23, 2024. Boasting 405 billion parameters, it utilizes an optimized transformer architecture with Grouped-Query Attention (GQA) for improved inference scalability. The model supports eight languages and is fine-tuned using supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF). Trained on approximately 15 trillion tokens with a knowledge cutoff in December 2023, it's designed for commercial and research applications, particularly in assistant-like chat scenarios. The model is available under a Community License, allowing for responsible use and modification .

Llama 3.1 405B is an open-weight model in the Llama 3.1 family. The structured metadata tracks a 128k-token context window. Headline tracked benchmarks include HellaSwag 95.8, HumanEval 89.0, and Massive Multitask Language Understanding 88.6.
