Llama 3.1 405B Instruct vs Llama 3.3 70B Instruct

This comparison does not currently contain a protocol-matched coding benchmark for both Llama 3.1 405B Instruct and Llama 3.3 70B Instruct, so Model Markets cannot name a coding leader from pricing, context size, or capability labels alone.

Only Llama 3.3 70B Instruct has a directly sourced input price: $0.10 per million tokens. Only Llama 3.3 70B Instruct has a directly sourced output price: $0.32 per million tokens.

Both models have the same sourced context window: 131,072 tokens each.

There is no overall benchmark winner: At least two independently verified, protocol-matched benchmarks are required for an overall winner.

Both models have the same sourced self-hosting status: supported. Llama 3.1 405B Instruct is open weight; Llama 3.3 70B Instruct is open weight.

Llama 3.1 405B Instruct is not documented with image input; Llama 3.3 70B Instruct is not documented with image input. This reflects supported input modalities, not vision quality.

Neither model has a sourced maximum output in this comparison, so a larger limit cannot be determined.

Llama 3.1 405B Instruct: tool calling. Llama 3.3 70B Instruct: tool calling. Feature support does not establish relative quality.

Llama 3.1 405B Instruct has 1 sourced provider route; Llama 3.3 70B Instruct has 3, so Llama 3.3 70B Instruct has broader tracked availability.

There is no universal value winner. Compare the input and output prices above with the matched benchmark result for your workload: cheaper tokens can be offset by different quality, token usage, latency, or provider availability.
