Announcement · All Meta releases

Llama 3.1 70B Instruct is Meta's open-weight general-purpose model, released July 2024. With 70 billion parameters and a 131,072-token context window, it balances capability and efficiency, offering strong reasoning, instruction following, and multilingual fluency. The model handles tool calling, structured output generation, and complex reasoning workflows. It supports long-form generation, code understanding, and agentic behavior where tool use is central, and the extended context window supports document analysis and multi-turn conversations. As an open-weight model, it suits organizations that want customizable, auditable inference. Multilingual support officially spans eight languages, including English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Spanish, and Thai, making it practical for global applications.
