**ID**: `meta/llama-3-8b-instruct`  
**Creator**: meta  
**Category**: text  
**Context**: 8K tokens  
**Status**: Disabled (since 2026-07-26) — no longer routable or listed; kept for history/usage reference.  
**Reason**: Cloudflare Workers AI retired this SKU on 2026-05-30; the binding returns HTTP 410 (deprecated) and the model is absent from the account's live catalogue. It was this model's only upstream, so it was disabled rather than the route pruned.
