Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.06694.pdf  
Code: https://github.com/princeton-nlp/LLM-Shearing

License: Must comply with license of Pythia since it's a model derived from Pythia.

Sheared-Pythia-160m is a model pruned and further pre-trained from [EleutherAI/pythia-410m](https://huggingface.co/EleutherAI/pythia-410m). We dynamically load data from different domains in the Pile dataset to prune and contune pre-train the model. We use 0.4B tokens for pruning and 50B tokens for continued pre-training the pruned model. This model can be loaded with HuggingFace via

```
model = GPTNeoXForCausalLM.from_pretrained("princeton-nlp/Sheared-Pythia-160m")
```

The model's overall performance is better than EleutherAI/pythia-160m.
