chanky-LM

Chanky-v2-Large

A powerful obese language model with two variants:

• Chanky-v2-Large (7.8B parameters)
• Chanky-v2-large (1.32B parameters, quantized)

Model Architecture

• Based on the transformer architecture with improvements
• Uses rotary positional embeddings
• Implements flash attention for better performance
• Supports both full precision and quantized inference

Variants

1. Chanky-v2-Large (7.8B parameters):

   • Full precision (FP16/BF16)
   • 24 transformer layers
   • 2048 hidden dimension
   • 32 attention heads

2. Chanky-v2-large (1.32B parameters):

   • 4-bit quantized
   • 24 transformer layers
   • 1024 hidden dimension
   • 16 attention heads
