Falcon3-7B-Instruct-GPTQ-Int8

Falcon3 family of Open Foundation Models is a set of pretrained and instruct LLMs ranging from 1B to 10B parameters.

Falcon3-7B-Instruct achieves state-of-the-art results (at release's time) on reasoning, language understanding, instruction following, code and mathematics tasks. Falcon3-7B-Instruct supports 4 languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese) and a context length of up to 32K.

This repository contains the GPTQ-quantized 8-bit instruction-tuned 7B Falcon3 model.
