<img src="smol-llama-banner.png" alt="banner" style="max-width:95%; height:auto;">

A small 101M param (total) decoder model. This is the first version of the model.

• 768 hidden size, 6 layers
• GQA (24 heads, 8 key-value), context length 1024
• train-from-scratch

Features

Some cool anecdotes about this model:

• this model was pretrained on one GPU for 5 compute-days. You can DIY pretrain too!
• 0% of the training data (to our knowledge) comes from OpenAI synthetic generation

Notes

This checkpoint is the 'raw' pre-trained model and has not been tuned to a more specific task. It should be fine-tuned before use in most cases.
