Evaluating Llama 3.1 Across Various Providers

Llama 3.1 has taken the world by storm, standing out as the first open-source model that can compete with the best models available today. A key benefit of open-source models is that they can be hosted by anyone. At first glance, it may appear that all providers offer the same service with the same model. However, identifying the nuances and accurately benchmarking such a powerful model as Llama 3.1 is quite challenging. Once you undertake this task, you will discover that inference services are not interchangeable. Differences in decision-making, optimization, and quality testing processes can lead to more than a percentage point difference in benchmark tests, which can make the difference between success and failure for your application tasks.
