Original Model Card by tiiuae # Original Model Card by tiiuae [***Link to original model card***](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b) # 🚀 Falcon-7B **Falcon-7B is a 7B parameters causal decoder-only model built by [TII](https://www.tii.ae) and trained on 1,500B tokens of [RefinedWeb](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tiiuae/falcon-refinedweb) enhanced with curated corpora. It is made available under the Apache 2.0 license.** *Paper coming soon* 😊. 🤗 To get started with Falcon (inference, finetuning, quantization, etc.), we recommend reading [this great blogpost fron HF](https://huggingface.co/blog/falcon)! ## Why use Falcon-7B? * **It outperforms comparable open-source models** (e.g., [MPT-7B](https://huggingface.co/mosaicml/mpt-7b), [StableLM](https://github.com/Stability-AI/StableLM), [RedPajama](https://huggingface.co/togethercomputer/RedPajama-INCITE-Base-7B-v0.1) etc.), thanks to being trained on 1,500B tokens of [RefinedWeb](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tiiuae/falcon-refinedweb) enhanced with curated corpora. See the [OpenLLM Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderboard). * **It features an architecture optimized for inference**, with FlashAttention ([Dao et al., 2022](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.14135)) and multiquery ([Shazeer et al., 2019](https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.02150)). * **It is made available under a permissive Apache 2.0 license allowing for commercial use**, without any royalties or restrictions. ⚠️ **This is a raw, pretrained model, which should be further finetuned for most usecases.** If you are looking for a version better suited to taking generic instructions in a chat format, we recommend taking a look at [Falcon-7B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct). 🔥 **Looking for an even more powerful model?** [Falcon-40B](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b) is Falcon-7B's big brother! ```python from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM import transformers import torch model = "tiiuae/falcon-7b" tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model) pipeline = transformers.pipeline( "text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, trust_remote_code=True, device_map="auto", ) sequences = pipeline( "Girafatron is obsessed with giraffes, the most glorious animal on the face of this Earth. Giraftron believes all other animals are irrelevant when compared to the glorious majesty of the giraffe.\nDaniel: Hello, Girafatron!\nGirafatron:", max_length=200, do_sample=True, top_k=10, num_return_sequences=1, eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id, ) for seq in sequences: print(f"Result: {seq['generated_text']}") ``` 💥 **Falcon LLMs require PyTorch 2.0 for use with `transformers`!** For fast inference with Falcon, check-out [Text Generation Inference](https://github.com/huggingface/text-generation-inference)! Read more in this [blogpost]((https://huggingface.co/blog/falcon). You will need **at least 16GB of memory** to swiftly run inference with Falcon-7B. # Model Card for Falcon-7B ## Model Details ### Model Description - **Developed by:** [https://www.tii.ae](https://www.tii.ae); - **Model type:** Causal decoder-only; - **Language(s) (NLP):** English and French; - **License:** Apache 2.0. ### Model Source - **Paper:** *coming soon*. ## Uses ### Direct Use Research on large language models; as a foundation for further specialization and finetuning for specific usecases (e.g., summarization, text generation, chatbot, etc.) ### Out-of-Scope Use Production use without adequate assessment of risks and mitigation; any use cases which may be considered irresponsible or harmful. ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations Falcon-7B is trained on English and French data only, and will not generalize appropriately to other languages. Furthermore, as it is trained on a large-scale corpora representative of the web, it will carry the stereotypes and biases commonly encountered online. ### Recommendations We recommend users of Falcon-7B to consider finetuning it for the specific set of tasks of interest, and for guardrails and appropriate precautions to be taken for any production use. ## How to Get Started with the Model ```python from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM import transformers import torch model = "tiiuae/falcon-7b" tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model) pipeline = transformers.pipeline( "text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, trust_remote_code=True, device_map="auto", ) sequences = pipeline( "Girafatron is obsessed with giraffes, the most glorious animal on the face of this Earth. Giraftron believes all other animals are irrelevant when compared to the glorious majesty of the giraffe.\nDaniel: Hello, Girafatron!\nGirafatron:", max_length=200, do_sample=True, top_k=10, num_return_sequences=1, eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id, ) for seq in sequences: print(f"Result: {seq['generated_text']}") ``` ## Training Details ### Training Data Falcon-7B was trained on 1,500B tokens of [RefinedWeb](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tiiuae/falcon-refinedweb), a high-quality filtered and deduplicated web dataset which we enhanced with curated corpora. Significant components from our curated copora were inspired by The Pile ([Gao et al., 2020](https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.00027)). | **Data source** | **Fraction** | **Tokens** | **Sources** | |--------------------|--------------|------------|-----------------------------------| | [RefinedWeb-English](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tiiuae/falcon-refinedweb) | 79% | 1,185B | massive web crawl | | Books | 7% | 110B | | | Conversations | 6% | 85B | Reddit, StackOverflow, HackerNews | | Code | 3% | 45B | | | RefinedWeb-French | 3% | 45B | massive web crawl | | Technical | 2% | 30B | arXiv, PubMed, USPTO, etc. | The data was tokenized with the Falcon-[7B](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b)/[40B](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b) tokenizer. ### Training Procedure Falcon-7B was trained on 384 A100 40GB GPUs, using a 2D parallelism strategy (PP=2, DP=192) combined with ZeRO. #### Training Hyperparameters | **Hyperparameter** | **Value** | **Comment** | |--------------------|------------|-------------------------------------------| | Precision | `bfloat16` | | | Optimizer | AdamW | | | Learning rate | 6e-4 | 4B tokens warm-up, cosine decay to 1.2e-5 | | Weight decay | 1e-1 | | | Z-loss | 1e-4 | | | Batch size | 2304 | 30B tokens ramp-up | #### Speeds, Sizes, Times Training happened in early March 2023 and took about two weeks. ## Evaluation *Paper coming soon*. See the [OpenLLM Leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderboard) for early results. ## Technical Specifications ### Model Architecture and Objective Falcon-7B is a causal decoder-only model trained on a causal language modeling task (i.e., predict the next token). The architecture is broadly adapted from the GPT-3 paper ([Brown et al., 2020](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165)), with the following differences: * **Positionnal embeddings:** rotary ([Su et al., 2021](https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.09864)); * **Attention:** multiquery ([Shazeer et al., 2019](https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.02150)) and FlashAttention ([Dao et al., 2022](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.14135)); * **Decoder-block:** parallel attention/MLP with a single layer norm. | **Hyperparameter** | **Value** | **Comment** | |--------------------|-----------|----------------------------------------| | Layers | 32 | | | `d_model` | 4544 | Increased to compensate for multiquery | | `head_dim` | 64 | Reduced to optimise for FlashAttention | | Vocabulary | 65024 | | | Sequence length | 2048 | | ### Compute Infrastructure #### Hardware Falcon-7B was trained on AWS SageMaker, on 384 A100 40GB GPUs in P4d instances. #### Software Falcon-7B was trained a custom distributed training codebase, Gigatron. It uses a 3D parallelism approach combined with ZeRO and high-performance Triton kernels (FlashAttention, etc.) ## Citation *Paper coming soon* 😊.
