The *TokenFormer* is a **fully attention-based architecture** 
that unifies the computations of token-token and token-parameter interactions 
by entirely employing the attention mechanism, **maximizes the flexibility of neural network**.[(see paper)](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.23168). 
It contains four models of sizes 
150M, 450M, 900M, 1.5B. For each size, it's trained based on [gpt-neox](https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox) code base and uses [Pile](https://huggingface.co/datasets/EleutherAI/pile) with 300B tokens. 
All 4 model sizes are trained on the exact 
same data, in the exact same order.

## Training

### Training data

[The Pile](https://pile.eleuther.ai/) is a 825GiB general-purpose dataset in 
English. It was created by EleutherAI specifically for training large language 
models. It contains texts from 22 diverse sources, roughly broken down into 
five categories: academic writing (e.g. arXiv), internet (e.g. CommonCrawl), 
prose (e.g. Project Gutenberg), dialogue (e.g. YouTube subtitles), and 
miscellaneous (e.g. GitHub, Enron Emails). See [the Pile 
paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.00027) for a breakdown of all data sources, 
methodology, and a discussion of ethical implications. Consult [the 
datasheet](https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.07311) for more detailed documentation 
about the Pile and its component datasets. The Pile can be downloaded from 
the [official website](https://pile.eleuther.ai/), or from a [community 
mirror](https://the-eye.eu/public/AI/pile/).<br>

### Training procedure
We follow the default training strategy of [Pythia](https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.01373) in [gpt-neox](https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox), 
including the dataset processing, hyper-parameter and code base.
All models were trained on the exact same data, in the exact same order. Each 
model saw 299,892,736,000 tokens during training. 

All *TokenFormer* models trained for 143000 steps at a batch size 
of 2M (2,097,152 tokens).<br>
See [GitHub](https://github.com/Haiyang-W/TokenFormer) for more details on training
 procedure.<br>
TokenFormer uses the same tokenizer as [GPT-NeoX-
20B](https://huggingface.co/EleutherAI/gpt-neox-20b).

## Evaluations

All *TokenFormer* models were evaluated using the [LM Evaluation 
Harness](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness). 
You can run the evaluation with our [instruction](https://github.com/Haiyang-W/TokenFormer?tab=readme-ov-file#evaluations).<br>

TokenFormer compared with Opensource Transformer-based LLMs.
