Instructions to use meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Hi there,

I tried to gain access to the llama 3.2 models but my request was denied. I think I filled it out correctly, I was just unsure what was meant by Affiliation. After translating the word It seemed like I have to fill in my Nationality. Can you maybe reconsider the request or give me a chance to request again please? I need it for my studies.

Thank you for your reconsideration.

Kind regards

Great discussion! For anyone wanting to quickly test this, Crazyrouter offers API access to this model. No infrastructure setup needed — just an API key and the standard OpenAI SDK.
