Catalogue only

This model is catalogued for reference. It is not hosted on LLM EU yet, and no first-party endpoint serves it here. Requests to it go to the provider directly, under that provider's own terms.

Summary

Llama 3.3 70B Instruct is the December 2024 refresh of Meta’s 70B instruct model, with a 128k-token context window and the same Llama 3.3 Community License terms as Llama 3.1. Meta positions it as an alternative to the larger Llama 3.1 405B for general assistant work. It is text-only and is the largest dense Llama checkpoint still in common self-hosted use.

Frequently asked questions

Is Llama 3.3 70B Instruct served on LLM EU?

It has no endpoint in the catalogue, so it is catalogue only — not hosted on LLM EU yet, with no region and no retention to report. A card whose status is "listed" is a catalogue entry, not a running deployment.

Under what licence is Llama 3.3 70B Instruct released?

Llama 3.3 70B Instruct is recorded under llama3.3. The recorded licence text is https://www.llama.com/llama3_3/license/. The weights are downloadable (open_weights is true). LLM EU republishes the licence id and the link and gives no legal advice; the licence text governs.
