Frequently Asked Questions — Llama Model
Which GPU do I need for Llama 3?
Llama 3 8B: RTX 4090 (24 GB) or A100 40GB — runs at full FP16. Llama 3 70B: A100 80GB (4-bit quantization) or 2× A100 40GB FP16. Llama 3.1 405B: 4× A100 80GB or 2× H100 80GB. For production inference, H100 80GB ($1.99/hr) provides best throughput.
Can I fine-tune Llama on AIC Cloud?
Yes — LoRA fine-tuning of Llama 3 8B fits on a single A100 80GB. Full fine-tuning of 70B requires multi-GPU setup (4× A100 minimum). Use Hugging Face Transformers, axolotl, or unsloth for fine-tuning workflows.
How fast can I serve Llama 3 on AIC Cloud A100?
Llama 3 8B on A100 80GB via vLLM: ~200-400 tokens/second single request, 2,000-3,500 tokens/second batched. Llama 3 70B (4-bit quantized): ~50-80 tokens/second single request, 500-800 tokens/second batched.
Where do I get Llama model weights?
Hugging Face Hub (huggingface.co/meta-llama) — accept the Meta license, then download via `huggingface-cli`. Llama 3 weights are gated but free for commercial use (with restrictions for >700M monthly active users).
Is Llama better than Mistral or Qwen?
Depends on use case. Llama 3.3 70B: strong general reasoning, English-first. Mistral 7B / 8x7B: efficient, multilingual. Qwen 2.5: best for code + Chinese/Asian languages. For most English-language tasks, Llama 3 is the safest default. Always benchmark on your specific use case.
