R1 Distill Llama 70B

POST/v1/chat/completions

DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B is a distilled large language model based on Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct, using outputs from DeepSeek R1. The model combines advanced distillation techniques to achieve high performance across multiple benchmarks, including:

Request body

Parameters supported by this model. Values, defaults, and limits are read from the model registry.

stringmodelrequired

Model identifier. Set to deepseek/deepseek-r1-distill-llama-70b.

Default: deepseek/deepseek-r1-distill-llama-70b

array<object>messagesrequired

Conversation messages in system, user, or assistant order.

Optional<integer>max_tokens

Maximum number of tokens the model may generate in the response.

Range: −∞ to 16384

Optional<number>temperature

Sampling temperature. Lower values are more deterministic; higher values are more creative.

Range: 0 to 2

Default: 1

Optional<number>top_p

Nucleus sampling threshold. Use this or temperature, but usually not both.

Range: 0 to 1

Optional<boolean>stream

When true, returns incremental Server-Sent Events instead of one completed response.

Default: false

Optional<object>response_format

Controls the response format, including JSON mode or structured JSON output when supported.

Optional<array<string>>stop

Sequences that stop generation when the model produces one of them.

Optional<number>presence_penalty

Penalizes tokens that already appeared, encouraging the model to introduce new topics.

Range: -2 to 2

Optional<number>frequency_penalty

Penalizes repeated tokens, reducing repetition in the generated response.

Range: -2 to 2

Optional<integer>seed

Seed used to make sampling more reproducible when the provider supports it.

Optional<integer>top_k

Request parameter supported by this model.

Range: 0 to ∞

Response Schema

Fields returned by this model API response.

array<object>choicesrequired

Generated completion choices.

stringidrequired

Unique chat completion identifier.

stringmodelrequired

Model that generated the response.

Optional<object>usage

Token usage when available.

Model capabilities

array<string>capability_tagsrequired

Capabilities declared by the model registry.

Default: chat, reasoning, structured_output

integercontext_lengthrequired

Maximum context window accepted by this model.

Default: 131072 tokens

stringexecution_moderequired

Execution mode declared by the model registry.

Default: sync
