Llama 2-70B: Score, Price and Context Window

Where Llama 2-70B from Meta ranks, what it costs and how much text it can read, in plain numbers with the sources.

Data updated

  • Meta
  • Open weights
  • Released Jul 2023

Its score range overlaps with PaLM 2-L, the model just above it, so a small gap in rank is not a meaningful difference.

Best for

  • Running it yourself: its weights can be downloaded (read the licence terms first).

Skip if

  • Cutting-edge tasks: its overall Epoch score is in the lower part of the models we track.
  • Long documents: its context window is only 4K tokens.

These lines are worked out from the numbers on this page, not from hands-on testing.
