🚀 Falcon2-11B
Falcon2-11B is an 11B parameters causal decoder-only model built by TII and trained on 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.
Paper coming soon 😊.
🤗 To get started with Falcon (inference, finetuning, quantization, etc.), we recommend reading this great blogpost from HF!
⚠️ This is a raw, pretrained model, which should be further finetuned for most usecases.

💥 Falcon LLMs require PyTorch 2.0 for use with transformers!

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
Falcon2-11B is trained mostly on English, but also German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Romanian, Czech, Swedish. It 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 Falcon2-11B 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.

Training Details
Training Data
Falcon2-11B was trained over 5,000B tokens of RefinedWeb, a high-quality filtered and deduplicated web dataset which we enhanced with curated corpora. It followed a four stage training strategy. The first three stages were focused on increasing the context length, from to 2048 to 4096 and finally to 8192 tokens. The last stage aimed to further enhance performance using only high quality data.
Overall, the data sources included RefinedWeb-English, Refined Web-Europe (cs, de, es, fr, it, nl, pl, pt, ro, sv), high quality technical data, code data, and conversational data extracted from public sources.
The training stages were as follows:
| Stage | Context length | Tokens |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | 2048 | 4500 B |
| Stage 2 | 4096 | 250 B |
| Stage 3 | 8192 | 250 B |
| Stage 4 | 8192 | 500 B |
The data was tokenized with the Falcon-7B/11B tokenizer.
Training Procedure
Falcon2-11B was trained on 1024 A100 40GB GPUs for the majority of the training, using a 3D parallelism strategy (TP=8, PP=1, DP=128) combined with ZeRO and Flash-Attention 2.

Technical Specifications
Model Architecture and Objective
Falcon2-11B 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), with the following differences:
- Positional embeddings: rotary (Su et al., 2021);
- Attention: multiquery (Shazeer et al., 2019) and FlashAttention-2 (Dao, 2023);
- Decoder-block: parallel attention/MLP.

Compute Infrastructure
Hardware
Falcon2-11B was trained on AWS SageMaker, using on average 1024 A100 40GB GPUs in 128 p4d instances.
Software
Falcon2-11B was trained a custom distributed training codebase, Gigatron. It uses a 3D parallelism approach combined with ZeRO, high-performance Triton kernels and FlashAttention-2. More details about the distributed training strategy can be found in Almazrouei et.al.
