## What is Llama 3.3 70B Instruct good for?

Llama 3.3 70B Instruct is Meta’s 70-billion-parameter instruct model under the Llama 3.3 Community License, with a context of about 128K tokens. Five hosts list it, at prices that range from $0.10 to $1.04 per million input tokens.

We offer it for general chat, especially for apps already built and tested on Llama. For a newer model at a similar price, try [Gemma 4 31B](https://llmwithcrypto.com/models/gemma-4-31b/) or [gpt-oss-120b](https://llmwithcrypto.com/models/gpt-oss-120b/).

## What licence does Llama 3.3 70B Instruct come with?

The Llama 3.3 Community License allows hosting the model as a service, with conditions. Anyone offering a service that contains Llama must “prominently display ‘Built with Llama’” and follow Meta’s Acceptable Use Policy, which the licence incorporates. Services above 700 million monthly active users must ask Meta for a licence.

Each model keeps its own licence and use policy (for example Meta’s Llama Acceptable Use Policy and the “Built with Llama” notice); using a model through us means accepting them.

## Llama 3.3 70B Instruct questions

### Why does this page say “Built with Llama”?

Because the Llama 3.3 licence requires it from any service that offers the model. It also means Meta’s Acceptable Use Policy applies to what you ask Llama to do through us.

### Why do Llama prices vary so much between hosts?

Hosts run it on different hardware and tiers; on 23 October 2026 the list prices we read went from $0.10 to $1.04 per million input tokens. We follow the median of the five, minus 5%.

### Do you keep my prompts?

We do not store your prompts or the model’s answers: once a response is sent, its text is gone. Each call leaves one log line with the time, the account, the model and the token counts, deleted after 30 days.
