The highly anticipated 400B class of Llama3 is here! Clocking in at 128k context with impressive eval scores, the Meta AI team continues to push the frontier of open-source LLMs. Meta's latest class of model (Llama 3.1) launched with a variety of sizes & flavors. This 405B instruct-tuned version is optimized for high quality dialogue usecases. It has demonstrated strong performance compared to leading closed-source models including GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet in evaluations.

Usage of this model is subject to [Meta's Acceptable Use Policy](https://llama.meta.com/llama3/use-policy/).
meta-llama text-first profile
Long-context research / Reasoning with extended context and heavy runtime.
Balanced spend profile. Easier to justify in mixed production and exploration workloads.
Large context headroom supports repo-wide prompts and long research sessions.
Costs look manageable, but still deserve attention in always-on agents or batch jobs.
Latency profile is better for deliberate runs than rapid back-and-forth chat.
Current metadata points to a text-first profile rather than a broad multimodal one.
Long-context summarization, repo analysis, and policy or document review.
Benchmarks
Only benchmark categories with actual signal are shown. Secondary values stay as simple definitions instead of nested micro-cards.
Specs & Pricing
Specs stay neutral, pricing gets emphasis through values rather than extra containers. Raw provider internals remain in metadata at the end.
This model sits in a balanced spend range. It is easier to justify across both production and exploratory workflows.
Metadata
Verification details remain available, but the page no longer forces them ahead of the editorial read.
