Llama 3.1 8B is a dense model with 8B parameters. Meta lists a context window of 128K tokens. The model takes text input. The weights are released under the Llama 3.1 Community License. Commercial use is allowed with conditions. Companies whose products had more than 700 million monthly active users need a separate license from Meta, and the Llama Acceptable Use Policy applies.
The official weights on Hugging Face take about 16.1 GB in BF16. Running the model needs at least that much memory across GPUs and system RAM, plus room for the context cache; quantized versions need less.
