What the source says

January 24, 2025: Llama 3.1 70B and Llama 3.1 70B (Speculative Decoding) On December 6, 2024, in partnership with Meta, we released llama-3.3-70b-versatile and llama-3.3-70b-specdec, and notified users that we would deprecate their 3.1 counterparts in favor of hosting Llama 3.3 with significant quality improvements for a better experience. To facilitate a smooth transition, we will maintain the current llama-3.1-70b-versatile and llama-3.1-70b-specdec model IDs until December 20, 2024. At that time, requests to these model IDs will automatically upgrade to their respective 3.3 versions. Beginning January 24, 2025, requests to both 3.1 model IDs will return errors. While these new models deliver improved quality, they may produce different responses than their predecessors. We recommend migrating to explicitly using llama-3.3-70b-versatile and llama-3.3-70b-specdec before December 20, 2024, for testing.
