8B (dense)
Llama 3.3 Community License
The "lost" Llama 3.3 8B extracted from Meta's Llama API via finetuning workaround; model existed behind API since April 2025 but weights never officially released; extracted by downloading finetuned model and subtracting adapter to recover base; significant improvements over Llama 3.1 8B: 81.95% IFEval (vs 78.2%), 37.0% GPQA Diamond (vs 29.3%); 8K context (API version has 128K); metadata shows Llama 3 as base but behaves distinctly from 3.1; stylistic differences and knowledge updates confirm it's genuine 3.3; legally redistributable per Meta's own ToS which states downloaded models fall under Llama 3.3 Community License; community reverse-engineered through buggy/hidden finetuning UI that appeared in December; the model everyone expected after 3.3 70B dropped but Meta never released through normal channels; first community weights published by allura-forge on HuggingFace.
