About

The Llama 3.1 70B Instruct model is a cutting-edge large language model with 70 billion parameters, designed for instruction-following tasks. It features multilingual capabilities, supporting languages like English, German, French, and others. Fine-tuned using supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF), it excels in understanding and responding to user instructions. The model can handle a context length of up to 128k tokens, making it suitable for complex dialogue systems and applications requiring detailed responses. It outperforms many existing open-source and proprietary models on various industry benchmarks, making it ideal for conversational AI, content generation, and data synthesis tasks. For more details, visit the Hugging Face page [1].

Llama 3.1 70B Instruct is an open-source model in the Llama 3.1 family. The structured metadata tracks a 128k-token context window and structured outputs. This page tracks provider routes through Cloudflare Workers AI, OctoAI API (Deprecated), Together AI, and 10 more, with the cheapest tracked route listed at $0.4 input and $0.4 output per 1M tokens. Headline tracked benchmarks include HellaSwag 94.2, HumanEval 84.1, and Massive Multitask Language Understanding 86.0.
