Int8_float16 version of tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct, quantized using CTranslate2.

✨ Falcon-7B-Instruct

Falcon-7B-Instruct is a 7B parameters causal decoder-only model built by TII based on Falcon-7B and finetuned on a mixture of chat/instruct datasets. It is made available under the Apache 2.0 license.

Paper coming soon 😊.

🤗 To get started with Falcon (inference, finetuning, quantization, etc.), we recommend reading this great blogpost fron HF!

Why use Falcon-7B-Instruct?

• You are looking for a ready-to-use chat/instruct model based on Falcon-7B.
• Falcon-7B is a strong base model, outperforming comparable open-source models (e.g., MPT-7B, StableLM, RedPajama etc.), thanks to being trained on 1,500B tokens of RefinedWeb enhanced with curated corpora. See the OpenLLM Leaderboard.
• It features an architecture optimized for inference, with FlashAttention (Dao et al., 2022) and multiquery (Shazeer et al., 2019).

💬 This is an instruct model, which may not be ideal for further finetuning. If you are interested in building your own instruct/chat model, we recommend starting from Falcon-7B.

🔥 Looking for an even more powerful model? Falcon-40B-Instruct is Falcon-7B-Instruct's big brother!

💥 Falcon LLMs require PyTorch 2.0 for use with transformers!

For fast inference with Falcon, check-out Text Generation Inference! Read more in this [blogpost]((https://huggingface.co/blog/falcon).

You will need at least 16GB of memory to swiftly run inference with Falcon-7B-Instruct.

Uses

Direct Use

Falcon-7B-Instruct has been finetuned on a mixture of instruct and chat datasets.

Out-of-Scope Use

Production use without adequate assessment of risks and mitigation; any use cases which may be considered irresponsible or harmful.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Falcon-7B-Instruct is mostly trained on English data, and will not generalize appropriately to other languages. Furthermore, as it is trained on a large-scale corpora representative of the web, it will carry the stereotypes and biases commonly encountered online.

Recommendations

We recommend users of Falcon-7B-Instruct to develop guardrails and to take appropriate precautions for any production use.

Training Details

Training Data

Falcon-7B-Instruct was finetuned on a 250M tokens mixture of instruct/chat datasets.

The data was tokenized with the Falcon-7B/40B tokenizer.

Evaluation

Paper coming soon.

See the OpenLLM Leaderboard for early results.

Note that this model variant is not optimized for NLP benchmarks.

Technical Specifications

For more information about pretraining, see Falcon-7B.

Model Architecture and Objective

Falcon-7B is a causal decoder-only model trained on a causal language modeling task (i.e., predict the next token).

The architecture is broadly adapted from the GPT-3 paper (Brown et al., 2020), with the following differences:

• Positionnal embeddings: rotary (Su et al., 2021);
• Attention: multiquery (Shazeer et al., 2019) and FlashAttention (Dao et al., 2022);
• Decoder-block: parallel attention/MLP with a single layer norm.

Compute Infrastructure

Hardware

Falcon-7B-Instruct was trained on AWS SageMaker, on 32 A100 40GB GPUs in P4d instances.

Software

Falcon-7B-Instruct was trained a custom distributed training codebase, Gigatron. It uses a 3D parallelism approach combined with ZeRO and high-performance Triton kernels (FlashAttention, etc.)
