# smol_llama-220M-GQA-32k-theta

Experimental model meant to serve as a long-context speculative decoding model.

Created using [BEE-spoke-data/smol_llama-220M-GQA](https://huggingface.co/BEE-spoke-data/smol_llama-220M-GQA) and further pretraining at 32768 context length on [togethercomputer/RedPajama-Data-1T-Sample](https://huggingface.co/datasets/togethercomputer/RedPajama-Data-1T-Sample).

This variant uses the rope theta (rope frequency base) method for context extension.
