9 of 40 open-source models (filtered).
NVIDIA's reward-modelling research vehicle. Trained primarily to be a synthetic-data-generation specialist rather than a chat-first model. Useful for teams building instruction-tuning datasets at scale.

Larger vision-language Llama variant, competitive with the proprietary multimodal frontier on standard image-understanding benchmarks. Drops in as a vision upgrade where 11B isn't sharp enough. Requires substantial GPU memory in fp16; most teams will run it quantized or on multi-GPU. A natural pairing with retrieval pipelines that fetch image-rich chunks alongside text.

Meta's December 2024 refresh of Llama 3 70B that closes most of the gap with Llama 3.1 405B for chat workloads while remaining tractable on a single H100. Strong instruction following, robust tool-use behaviour, and a 128K context window make it the default choice for production chat at 70B scale. The 3.3 release was trained on a refreshed instruction-tuning data mix and benefits from Meta's most recent alignment work. It outperforms the much larger 3.1 405B on several reasoning benchmarks at a fraction of inference cost. The licence is the Llama 3 Community License, which permits commercial use unless your service exceeds 700M monthly active users. Good pick for: production chat at scale, RAG over long documents, agentic workflows where tool use matters, and any 70B-tier replacement for closed proprietary models.

R1 reasoning capabilities distilled into a Llama 3.3 70B base. The most accessible way to run R1-class reasoning locally — fits on a single H100 in fp16 or on a 4090 at Q4. Inherits Llama 3's community licence (commercial use under 700M MAU). Great pick for production reasoning workloads where the full R1 is too expensive to host but o1/R1-style quality is required.

NVIDIA's RLHF-tuned Llama 3.1 70B. Tops several Arena-style human-preference leaderboards and shipped with NVIDIA's reward-model research. Inherits the Llama 3 community licence.

Llama 3's first vision-language model. Image understanding via a separately-trained ViT adapter bolted onto Llama 3 weights. Useful for OCR-adjacent workloads, document understanding, and image captioning at a permissive licence. The 11B size makes it cheap to host. Combined with the 128K text context, it handles long PDF-with-images workflows comfortably on a single 4090.

The workhorse 8B instruction-tuned model. Excellent quality-to-cost ratio and the broadest ecosystem support of any open-weights model — every major inference engine, fine-tuning library, and quantization toolchain has a 3.1 8B preset. Fits in 24 GB of VRAM at fp16, ~6 GB at Q4. Strong default for production chat where 70B is overkill, for fine-tuning on a specialist task, and for any workload where you want a known-good baseline.

Pocket-sized Llama 3 variant for edge deployment. Surprising chat quality after instruction tuning makes it competitive with much larger models from a previous generation. At Q4 it fits in ~2 GB of VRAM and runs on consumer GPUs and recent Apple Silicon. A strong default for on-device chat, summarisation, and structured extraction tasks where the workload doesn't need frontier reasoning quality.

The smallest Llama 3 release, designed for on-device inference on phones and laptops. The 1B model runs comfortably in <2 GB of RAM at Q4 quantization and is fast enough for real-time chat on a modern smartphone. Useful for edge inference, on-device assistants where round-tripping to a server is undesirable, and as a draft model for speculative decoding in front of a larger Llama 3 variant.
