# Eagle 7B - in short

Eagle 7B is a 7.52B parameter model that:

- Built on the RWKV-v5 architecture
  (a linear transformer with 10-100x+ lower inference cost)
- Ranks as the world’s greenest 7B model (per token)
- Trained on 1.1 Trillion Tokens across 100+ languages
- Outperforms all 7B class models in multi-lingual benchmarks
- Approaches Falcon (1.5T), LLaMA2 (2T), Mistral (>2T?) level of performance in English evals
- Trade blows with MPT-7B (1T) in English evals
- All while being an “Attention-Free Transformer”
- Is a foundation model, with a very small instruct tune - further fine-tuning is required for various use cases!
