# Llama 3.3 70B
**Summary:** Llama 3.3 70B is a breakthrough medium-sized language model that delivers flagship-level quality traditionally associated with 405B models while maintaining significantly improved efficiency. This advanced model excels in complex reasoning, nuanced language understanding, and sophisticated problem-solving, making it ideal for enterprise applications, advanced chatbots, content generation, and professional AI assistants that demand high-quality responses without the computational overhead of larger models.

## Usage example
### Chat completions
The following example demonstrates how to use **Structured Outputs** to extract specific entities from unstructured text into a predefined JSON schema.
**API Endpoint:** `POST https://openai.inference.de-txl.ionos.com/v1/chat/completions`
**Request:**
```json
{
"model": "meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct",
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Extract the name, age, and occupation from this text - \"John Doe is a 30-year-old software engineer from Berlin.\""
}
],
"response_format": {
"type": "json_schema",
"json_schema": {
"name": "person_info",
"schema": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"name": { "type": "string" },
"age": { "type": "integer" },
"occupation": { "type": "string" }
},
"required": ["name", "age", "occupation"],
"additionalProperties": false
},
"strict": true
}
},
"temperature": 0.1,
"max_completion_tokens": 500
}
```
**Response:**
```json
{
"id": "chatcmpl-123",
"object": "chat.completion",
"created": 1677652288,
"model": "meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct",
"choices": [{
"index": 0,
"message": {
"role": "assistant",
"content": "{\"name\": \"John Doe\", \"age\": 30, \"occupation\": \"software engineer\"}"
},
"finish_reason": "stop"
}],
"usage": {
"prompt_tokens": 20,
"completion_tokens": 12,
"total_tokens": 32
}
}
```
## Rate limits
Rate limits ensure fair usage and reliable access to the AI Model Hub. The [default rate limits](/cloud/ai/ai-model-hub/how-tos/rate-limits.md) apply to this model, separately from other models.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/ai/ai-model-hub/models/llms/meta-llama-3-3-70b.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
