Meta's Llama 3.3 70B (`meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct`) is available via NVIDIA NIM through InferAll at our open-model rate — the cheapest tier in the gateway. Llama 3.3 70B is the refined final iteration of the Llama 3.x 70B line — more instruction-following polish and better benchmark performance than 3.1 70B, at the same model size.
```python
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://api.inferall.ai/v1",
api_key="ifu_your_key_here", # get one at inferall.ai/keys
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Explain the difference between Llama 3.1, 3.3, and 4."}],
max_tokens=400,
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

### Llama 3.3 70B vs 3.1 70B vs Llama 4
**Llama 3.1 70B** (`meta/llama-3.1-70b-instruct`) — the original stable 70B model. Widely tested, very reliable baseline.
**Llama 3.3 70B** (`meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct`) — the refined version. Better instruction following, improved math and reasoning, same 70B architecture. Use this when you need Llama 3.x reliability with better task performance.
**Llama 4 Maverick** (`meta/llama-4-maverick-17b-128e-instruct`) — Meta's newest generation. Mixture of Experts architecture (17B active / 128 expert networks). Higher ceiling for complex tasks but different architecture; some developers stick with 3.3 for stability.
All three are open models on NVIDIA NIM through InferAll, at the same open-model rate.

### TypeScript / Node.js
```typescript
import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
baseURL: "https://api.inferall.ai/v1",
apiKey: process.env.INFERALL_API_KEY,
});
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Summarize the key differences between REST and GraphQL." }],
});
```
### Streaming
```python
with client.chat.completions.create(
model="meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Write a guide to async programming in Python."}],
stream=True,
) as stream:
for chunk in stream:
print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content or "", end="")
```
### Claude Code / Cline / Cursor
```sh
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.inferall.ai
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=ifu_your_key_here
```
Llama 3.3 70B serves as the "sonnet-tier" model for Anthropic-compatible clients — balanced performance at the open-model rate.
