Overview

Meta: Llama 3.1 8B Instruct is a large language model API from Meta, part of its Llama 3.1 model family. At $0.020 per million input tokens and $0.030 per million output tokens, it sits in the budget tier — among the cheaper options for high-throughput or cost-sensitive workloads. Output tokens cost about 2× as much as input, so prompt-heavy workloads run noticeably cheaper than generation-heavy ones. The 131K-token context window — around 197 pages of text — comfortably handles long documents, multi-file code, or extended conversations. On Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index it scores 8 (F grade), a useful proxy for its general reasoning strength relative to the other models tracked here. All prices on this page reflect OpenRouter's routed rates and are re-synced automatically every day; confirm against the provider's official pricing before committing to production.

Use Case Analysis

Model strengths, weaknesses, and ideal use cases based on benchmarks and official documentation

Strength

  • Exceptional Efficiency MMLU (CoT) 73.0%, GSM8K 84.5%. Best-in-class for 8B parameter models. Benchmark
  • Runs on Consumer Hardware Fits on single RTX 4090 (24GB VRAM) or even smaller GPUs with quantization. Official

Best For

  • Personal/Small Business AI Can run locally on personal computers; no cloud dependency or API costs. Official
  • Fine-tuning Base Model Excellent starting point for domain-specific fine-tuning with limited compute. Official

Not Recommended

  • Complex Reasoning Tasks Use 70B or 405B for multi-step logic, advanced math, or scientific reasoning. Official
