Llama3.1 405B - Details

Last update on 2025-05-20

Llama3.1 405B, developed by Meta Llama, is a large language model with 405B parameters. It operates under the Llama 31 Community License Agreement (LLAMA-31-CCLA) and is designed for advanced multilingual capabilities, extended context length, and superior tool use.

Description of Llama3.1 405B

Llama3.1 405B, developed by Meta Llama, is part of the Meta Llama 3.1 collection of multilingual large language models (LLMs) that includes 8B, 70B, and 405B parameter sizes. These models are optimized for multilingual dialogue and outperform many open-source and closed chat models on industry benchmarks. Trained on 15T+ tokens up to December 2023, they support extended context lengths of 128k and 8 languages with code integration. The models use an optimized transformer architecture with SFT (supervised fine-tuning) and RLHF (reinforcement learning with human feedback) for alignment. They operate under the Llama 31 Community License Agreement (LLAMA-31-CCLA) and are designed for advanced multilingual capabilities, extended context length, and superior tool use.

Parameters & Context Length of Llama3.1 405B

405b 128k

Llama3.1 405B features 405B parameters, placing it in the very large models category, which excel at complex tasks but demand significant computational resources. Its 128k context length enables handling extremely long texts, though this requires substantial memory and processing power. The model’s scale and extended context make it ideal for intricate, multi-step reasoning and extensive document analysis, but users must balance performance needs against resource constraints.

Quantized Versions & Hardware Requirements of Llama3.1 405B

24 vram

Llama3.1 405B with the q4 quantization offers a good balance between precision and performance, requiring hardware capable of handling large-scale models. For the medium q4 version, a system with at least 24GB VRAM and a multi-core CPU is likely necessary, though exact requirements depend on the model’s deployment and workload. This version reduces memory usage compared to higher-precision formats like fp16, making it more accessible for certain applications. However, thorough testing is essential to confirm compatibility with specific hardware configurations.
