Do you believe in a better tomorrow? We do. Our team of expert researchers live the dream and work to build it every day.

🔥 Falcon-180B is now available in open-access! Try it now in our chat demo!

News

• 🎉 TII has just released a new generation of models, starting with Falcon2-11B, a 11B parameters causal decoder-only model and trained over 5,000B tokens of RefinedWeb enhanced with curated corpora. The model is made available under the TII Falcon License 2.0, the permissive Apache 2.0-based software license which includes an acceptable use policy that promotes the responsible use of AI.
• 💥 TII has open-sourced Falcon-180B for research and commercial utilization! Access the 180B, as well as 7B/40B models, and explore our high-quality web dataset, RefinedWeb.
• ✨ Falcon-40B/7B are now available under the Apache 2.0 license, TII has waived all royalties and commercial usage restrictions.

Falcon2 LLM

Falcon2 LLM is TII's new flagship series of large language models, where we focused on building smaller models with enhanced performance to enable cheaper inference that can encourage the development of more downstream applications and improve the general usability of our models. More models and papers coming soon 😊.

See below for a detailed list of artefacts in the Falcon2 LLM family:

Falcon LLM

Falcon LLM is TII's flagship series of large language models, built from scratch using a custom data pipeline and distributed training library Almazrouei et. al.

Papers:

• RefinedWeb, Penedo et. al, 2023
• The Falcon Series of Open Language Models, Almazrouei et. al, 2023

To promote collaborations and drive innovation, we have open-sourced a number of artefacts:

• The Falcon-180B pretrained and chat models, under the Falcon-180B TII license. Falcon-180B is the largest and most powerful open-access model available.
• The Falcon-7/40B pretrained and instruct models, under the Apache 2.0 software license . Falcon-7B/40B models are state-of-the-art for their size, outperforming other open-source models on NLP benchmarks.
• The RefinedWeb dataset, a massive web dataset with stringent filtering and large-scale deduplication, enabling models trained on web data alone to match or outperform models trained on curated corpora. See 📓 the paper for more information. RefinedWeb is licensed under ODC-By 1.0.
