# Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct

> Use NeMo AutoModel to fine-tune Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct for LLM workflows with checked-in text generation recipes and documented distributed settings.

[Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct) has a checked-in NeMo AutoModel recipe for text generation.
The Hugging Face configuration declares the `LlamaForCausalLM` architecture.

## Fine-Tune Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct

Follow the [installation instructions](/get-started/installation), then run the recipe from the repository root:

```bash
automodel examples/llm_finetune/llama3_3/llama_3_3_70b_instruct_squad.yaml --nproc-per-node 8
```

Use the [Slurm launcher guide](/job-launchers/slurm-cluster) for the multi-node run.
