Open WebUI is an open-source, self-hosted web interface with a polished, ChatGPT-like user experience for interacting with LLMs. Integrates seamlessly with local Ollama installation.
The most full-featured web interface for experimenting with open source Large Language Models. Featuring a wide range of configurable settings, inference engines, and plugins.
The Llama 3 model family represents Meta's third generation of large language models, consisting of multiple variants released throughout 2024. The family includes models of varying sizes and capabilities, from the compact Llama 3.2 3B to the powerful Llama 3.3 70B. Each model in the family shares a common foundation based on an optimized transformer architecture incorporating Grouped-Query Attention (GQA) for enhanced inference scalability.
The Llama 3 family began with the April 2024 release of Llama 3 8B and Llama 3 70B, establishing the foundation for subsequent iterations. July 2024 saw the introduction of the Llama 3.1 series, including Llama 3.1 8B and Llama 3.1 70B, which brought enhanced multilingual capabilities and improved performance. The family expanded further with September's release of Llama 3.2 3B, optimized for on-device applications, and culminated in December 2024 with Llama 3.3 70B, representing the most advanced iteration of the family.
All models in the Llama 3 family share core architectural elements, including the use of an optimized transformer design with Grouped-Query Attention. The models were trained on an extensive dataset of over 15 trillion tokens from publicly available online content, with knowledge cutoff dates varying by model version (March 2023 to December 2023). Each model undergoes both supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) to enhance helpfulness and safety.
The family demonstrates clear progression in capabilities across iterations. The initial Llama 3 models established baseline performance levels, while the 3.1 series introduced expanded multilingual support for eight core languages. The 3.2 series focused on efficiency and mobile deployment, with the 3B variant specifically optimized for on-device applications. The 3.3 series represents the pinnacle of the family's capabilities, with significant improvements in reasoning, code generation, and tool use.
The entire family supports implementation through either the Hugging Face Transformers library or Meta's original llama codebase. Meta provides comprehensive documentation and examples through their GitHub repository and Llama Recipes. The models feature various optimization options, including 8-bit and 4-bit quantization, making them adaptable to different deployment scenarios.
Meta has implemented consistent safety measures across the family, including the integration of Llama Guard, Prompt Guard, and Code Shield. The company maintains a strong focus on responsible AI development, providing comprehensive resources through their Responsible Use Guide. All models undergo extensive safety testing, including red teaming and adversarial evaluations, to mitigate potential risks.
The development of the Llama 3 family has had varying environmental impacts, with the larger models requiring significant computational resources. For example, the 70B variants required approximately 7.0M GPU hours on H100-80GB GPUs, resulting in location-based emissions of 2,040 tons CO2eq. However, Meta's commitment to renewable energy has effectively reduced market-based emissions to zero, as detailed in their training energy methodology.
All models in the family are available under Meta's community license agreements, which permit both commercial and research applications while maintaining specific usage restrictions. Organizations exceeding 700 million monthly active users require separate licensing arrangements. The licensing terms have remained consistent throughout the family's evolution, emphasizing responsible use and ethical deployment of the technology.
The Llama 3 family represents a significant advancement in open-source language models, with each iteration bringing improvements in performance, efficiency, and multilingual capabilities. The progression from the initial release to the latest 3.3 series demonstrates Meta's commitment to advancing AI technology while maintaining a focus on responsibility and accessibility. The family's diverse range of models, from lightweight mobile-optimized variants to powerful large-scale versions, provides options for various deployment scenarios and use cases.
