Qieg%C4%A7ed %C5%BCew%C4%A1 mudelli sa erbg%C4%A7a ma' xulxin fuq l-oqsma li jidde%C4%8Biedu deployment: kuntest, prezz, re%C4%A1jun, li%C4%8Benzja, lingwi, hosting, u x'hu verifikat.

Fejn %C5%BCew%C4%A1 mudelli jvarjaw, din it-tabella turi d-differenza u tieqaf. LLM EU ma tippubblikax badge ta' rebbie%C4%A7 ming%C4%A7ajr punte%C4%A1%C4%A1 dokumentat g%C4%A7al dik il-kompitu, u figura nieqsa tibqa' nieqsa minflok ma ssir %C5%BCero.

## Meta tu%C5%BCah

#### Sa%C4%A7%C4%A7iet

- 128k-token context window at the 8B size class
- very broad tooling and quantisation support
- published EU21 evaluation against European-focused models

#### Limiti

- English-centric training data; weaker on smaller EU languages
- released July 2024 and behind current 8B models

#### Kompiti

### [Llama 3.1 70B Instruct](/mt/models/llama-3-1-70b-instruct/)

#### Sa%C4%A7%C4%A7iet

- open weights are published on Hugging Face and can be downloaded without a vendor agreement
- the model page lists 6 languages the European Union publishes in, including en, de, fr, it
- instruction-tuned checkpoint with a chat template in the repository

#### Limiti

- catalogue only %E2%80%94 LLM EU does not run this model, and nothing on this card implies an LLM EU endpoint
- no evaluation has been run by LLM EU
- the published configuration records no context window, so the card carries none
- at 70.6B parameters, self-hosting needs a high-memory accelerator
