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")
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]:]))

Hi,

I hope you are doing well. I mistakenly chose some of the choice boxes when I requested accessing Llama 3.3 models, and my request was rejected. I submitted the form correctly on the llama.com website, but again it was rejected immediately. I would be grateful if you reconsider my request and give me access on Hugging Face, so I can proceed with my personal research.

Thank you so much for your time and understanding.

Best,
mann

If you're looking for an easy way to access this model via API, you can use Crazyrouter — it provides an OpenAI-compatible endpoint for 600+ models including this one. Just pip install openai and change the base URL.
