stream = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="meta-llama/llama-3.1-70b-instruct",

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 Llama. Context is 131,072 tokens; past that you have to summarise the history yourself. A single response can run to 8,192 tokens. On price it sits in the "cheap" band — cheaper than 277 and dearer than 121 of the other paid models in the catalogue.

Llama 3.1 70B Instruct is text in, text out: no tool calling, no image input. For chat, rewriting, translation and summarising that is all you need, and it costs less than a model carrying features you never call.

For a back-of-envelope figure: about 648 toman per 1,000-word exchange (249,278 in, 249,278 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 Weaver (alpha): Llama 3.1 70B Instruct works out about 30% more expensive, and its context window is larger. 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 154 thousand-word requests on Llama 3.1 70B Instruct, and every 1,000 toman is about 1,543 words of round trip. A job with one million input tokens and one million output tokens comes to 498,556 toman in total. Filling this model's 131,072-token window costs 32,673 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-3.2-1b-instruct", and choosing between those two is where most people hesitate. On a thousand-word request this variant works out about 6.3× more expensive (648 against 103 toman). The context windows differ too: 131,072 against 60,000 tokens. Maximum answer length differs as well: 8,192 against 54,000 tokens. On parameters the other takes frequency_penalty, logit_bias, min_p, presence_penalty.

Meta Llama has 8 models in our catalogue; the cheapest is Llama 3.1 8B Instruct at 59 toman per thousand words and the dearest Llama 3.1 70B Instruct at 648. Among the less common parameters it accepts top_k — all through the standard request body. It does not support include_reasoning, reasoning, response_format, tool_choice, 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.
