About OctoAI API (Deprecated)
No public independent OctoAI API, model catalog, portal, documentation, or pricing surface was verified on the former OctoAI routes checked. Those routes redirect to NVIDIA’s general site; do not treat that site as a successor to the former OctoAI API.
OctoAI was a hosted inference platform for running third-party foundation models. OctoAI’s company profile states that NVIDIA acquired it in September 2024 and that it was dissolved as an independent corporate entity. This entry is retained only as historical provider coverage.

About Llama 3.1 8B Instruct
The Llama 3.1 8B Instruct model, released on July 23, 2024, is a multilingual large language model with 8 billion parameters, optimized for instruction-following tasks. It features an enhanced transformer architecture, supporting languages like English, German, French, and others. The model excels in dialogue applications, having been fine-tuned using supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning with human feedback. Trained on approximately 15 trillion tokens with a December 2023 data cutoff, it outperforms many existing open-source and closed chat models in various benchmarks. Ideal for commercial and research applications such as conversational agents and content generation, the model can be accessed on Hugging Face .
