Falcon3-3B-Instruct

Falcon3 family of Open Foundation Models is a set of pretrained and instruct LLMs ranging from 1B to 10B parameters.

Falcon3-3B-Instruct achieves strong results on reasoning, language understanding, instruction following, code and mathematics tasks. Falcon3-3B-Instruct supports 4 languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese) and a context length of up to 32K.

Model Details

• Architecture
  • Transformer-based causal decoder-only architecture

Benchmarks

We report in the following table our internal pipeline benchmarks.

• We use lm-evaluation harness.
• We report raw scores obtained by applying chat template without fewshot_as_multiturn (unlike Llama3.1).
• We use same batch-size across all models.
