Llama 3.1 70B Instruct
Meta's Llama 3.1 70B Instruct is a 70-billion-parameter open-weights text model released in July 2024 under the Llama 3 community license. The 3.1 generation was the first in the 70B class to ship with a 131K-token context window, making it viable for long-document tasks like contract analysis and codebase summarization that previously required larger, costlier models. On MMLU it scores around 79–80, competitive with contemporaries at this parameter count. Note that Llama 3.3 70B, released December 2024, targets the same footprint with meaningfully better instruction-following — new deployments should default to 3.3 unless pinning to a specific weight hash for reproducibility. With continued provider adoption and price compression at the 70B tier, per-token costs here will keep falling through 2026.
