FAQ

Frequently asked about renting Llama 3.1 8B

Which GPU does Llama 3.1 8B need?

The entry configuration is 1x V100, which delivers around 28 tokens per second. For more parallel requests and headroom on speed, go with 1x H100.

How much does Llama 3.1 8B cost?

An hour of Llama 3.1 8B runs from $0.21 to $3.43 depending on the GPU configuration. Billing is hourly: you pay for server time, not for tokens.

How do I call Llama 3.1 8B from my code?

Once deployed you get an OpenAI-compatible endpoint: point any OpenAI client at the base_url you receive and pass llama3.1:8b as the model name. Code written against the OpenAI API needs no changes.

Does the data stay private?

Yes. Llama 3.1 8B runs on a dedicated GPU server inside a private loop: requests and responses never reach the model vendor and are not used for training.

What context window and license does Llama 3.1 8B have?

Llama 3.1 8B holds 32K tokens of context per request and ships under the Llama 3.1 Community License license, so you can use it commercially on your own hosting terms.
