Groq restricts Llama-3.3-70B-Versatile to enterprise clients

The Llama-3.3-70B-Versatile model is now exclusively available for enterprise clients on Groq, meaning it is no longer accessible through self-serve keys or the free tier. This change is reflected in Groq's documentation, where the model is marked with an "Enterprise" badge, requiring users to contact sales for pricing and rate limits. Free tier users can use models like openai/gpt-oss-120b, which offers a similar context window, or smaller safety classifiers. AI

IMPACT This change may impact developers relying on Groq's free tier for Llama models, requiring them to find alternative solutions.

RANK_REASON This item describes a change in access for an existing model on a specific platform, rather than a new release or significant industry event.
