Instructions to use meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct", device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Dear Meta Llama Team,

I am requesting access to the meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct model for research and development purposes.
My primary goal is to experiment with the safety of large language models for my dissertation. I am a third-year student at the University of Bath.

I agree to comply with all license terms and responsible use policies outlined for this model.

Thank you for considering my request.

Kind regards,
Roman Filippov

For those asking about API access — I've been using Crazyrouter as a unified gateway. One API key, OpenAI SDK compatible. Works well for testing different models without managing multiple accounts.

If you want to test this model via API without setting up infrastructure, OpenAI-compatible gateways make it easy. I use Crazyrouter — one API key for 600+ models. Just change the model name to switch between providers.
