Llama 3.1 70B Instruct example: tool calling

The example is picked from this model's own capabilities. Drop in your key and it runs as is.

from openai import OpenAI
import json

client = OpenAI(base_url="https://api.uttapen.ir/v1", api_key="sk-up-…")

tools = [{
    "type": "function",
    "function": {
        "name": "check_stock",
        "description": "Returns the stock level of a product",
        "parameters": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {"sku": {"type": "string"}},
            "required": ["sku"],
        },
    },
}]

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "How many of the Nike NK-42 shoe are in stock?"}]
first = client.chat.completions.create(model="meta-llama/llama-3.1-70b-instruct", messages=messages, tools=tools)
call = first.choices[0].message.tool_calls[0]

# you run the function yourself — the model never touches the database
args = json.loads(call.function.arguments)
result = {"sku": args["sku"], "qty": 7}

messages += [first.choices[0].message, {"role": "tool", "tool_call_id": call.id, "content": json.dumps(result)}]

What is Llama 3.1 70B Instruct good for?

The id for Llama 3.1 70B Instruct in our API is "meta-llama/llama-3.1-70b-instruct", served from Meta. Context is 131,072 tokens; past that you have to summarise the history yourself. A single response can run to 16,384 tokens. On price it sits in the "very cheap" band — cheaper than 71 and dearer than 335 of the other paid models in the catalogue.

Capabilities available on this id: it supports tool calling, so it can invoke your own functions with valid arguments; it returns schema-valid JSON through response_format, ready to hand to your code. All of it works through the standard parameters of the official OpenAI SDK — no custom client, no wrapper.

For a back-of-envelope figure: about 302 toman per 1,000-word exchange (116,050 in, 116,050 out, per 1M tokens). You are always charged for the usage the request actually reported, never for the estimate, and a failed request costs nothing.

The closest alternative with the same capabilities from a different provider is DeepSeek V3.2: Llama 3.1 70B Instruct works out roughly 1.2× more expensive, and its context window is smaller. Both run on the same key and the same code, so trying the other one is a single string change.

To make the figure concrete: 100,000 toman of credit buys roughly 331 thousand-word requests on Llama 3.1 70B Instruct, and every 1,000 toman is about 3,311 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 232,100 toman in total. Filling this model's 131,072-token window costs 15,211 toman on the input side alone, which is the real reason to keep conversation history short.

Its nearest relative in the catalogue is "meta-llama/llama-3.3-70b-instruct", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. On a thousand-word request this variant works out 1.9× dearer (302 against 158 toman). On parameters the other takes logprobs, top_logprobs.

Meta has 8 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is Llama 3.1 8B Instruct at 49 toman per thousand words and the dearest Llama 4 Maverick at 338. Among the less common parameters it accepts logit_bias, min_p, repetition_penalty, top_k — all through the standard request body. It does not support include_reasoning, reasoning, which most models here do, so test before switching if your code relies on them. By context size the nearest option from another provider is Aion-2.0 at 131,072 tokens.

What to use it for: high-volume work such as classification, tagging and bulk summarising, agents that reach out to APIs and databases, extracting data against a fixed schema.
