Llama 3.1 405B is in a class of its own, with unmatched flexibility, control, and state-of-the-art capabilities that rival the best closed source models. Our new model will enable the community to unlock new workflows, such as synthetic data generation and model distillation. Until today, open source large language models have mostly trailed behind their closed counterparts when it comes to capabilities and performance. Now, we’re ushering in a new era with open source leading the way. We’re publicly releasing Meta Llama 3.1 405B, which we believe is the world’s largest and most capable openly available foundation model. With more than 300 million total downloads of all Llama versions to date, we’re just getting started.
