Meta: Llama 3.3 70B Instruct (free)
The free tier of Meta's Llama 3.3 70B Instruct offers solid value for zero cost, with reasonable benchmark scores across reasoning and coding for its class. The lack of a paid SLA and reduced context window (128K vs 131K) make it better suited to experimentation than production business workflows.
