- Model creator: Technology Innovation Institute
- Original model: Falcon 180B Chat
Description
This repo contains GGUF format model files for Technology Innovation Institute's Falcon 180B Chat.
About GGUF
GGUF is a new format introduced by the llama.cpp team on August 21st 2023. It is a replacement for GGML, which is no longer supported by llama.cpp.
Here is an incomplate list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:
- llama.cpp. The source project for GGUF. Offers a CLI and a server option.
- text-generation-webui, the most widely used web UI, with many features and powerful extensions. Supports GPU acceleration.
- KoboldCpp, a fully featured web UI, with GPU accel across all platforms and GPU architectures. Especially good for story telling.
- LM Studio, an easy-to-use and powerful local GUI for Windows and macOS (Silicon), with GPU acceleration.
- LoLLMS Web UI, a great web UI with many interesting and unique features, including a full model library for easy model selection.
- Faraday.dev, an attractive and easy to use character-based chat GUI for Windows and macOS (both Silicon and Intel), with GPU acceleration.
- ctransformers, a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible AI server.
- llama-cpp-python, a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.
- candle, a Rust ML framework with a focus on performance, including GPU support, and ease of use.
Repositories available
- GPTQ models for GPU inference, with multiple quantisation parameter options.
- 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8-bit GGUF models for CPU+GPU inference
- Technology Innovation Institute's original unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions

Compatibility
These quantised GGUFv2 files are compatible with llama.cpp from August 27th onwards, as of commit d0cee0d
They are also compatible with many third party UIs and libraries - please see the list at the top of this README.
Explanation of quantisation methods
Click to see details
The new methods available are:
- GGML_TYPE_Q2_K - "type-1" 2-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weight. Block scales and mins are quantized with 4 bits. This ends up effectively using 2.5625 bits per weight (bpw)
- GGML_TYPE_Q3_K - "type-0" 3-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 6 bits. This end up using 3.4375 bpw.
- GGML_TYPE_Q4_K - "type-1" 4-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 8 blocks, each block having 32 weights. Scales and mins are quantized with 6 bits. This ends up using 4.5 bpw.
- GGML_TYPE_Q5_K - "type-1" 5-bit quantization. Same super-block structure as GGML_TYPE_Q4_K resulting in 5.5 bpw
- GGML_TYPE_Q6_K - "type-0" 6-bit quantization. Super-blocks with 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 8 bits. This ends up using 6.5625 bpw

How to download GGUF files
Note for manual downloaders: You almost never want to clone the entire repo! Multiple different quantisation formats are provided, and most users only want to pick and download a single file.
The following clients/libraries will automatically download models for you, providing a list of available models to choose from:
- LM Studio
- LoLLMS Web UI
- Faraday.dev
In text-generation-webui
Under Download Model, you can enter the model repo: TheBloke/Falcon-180B-Chat-GGUF and below it, a specific filename to download, such as: falcon-180b-chat.Q4_K_M.gguf.
Then click Download.
On the command line, including multiple files at once
I recommend using the huggingface-hub Python library:
pip3 install huggingface-hub
Then you can download any individual model file to the current directory, at high speed, with a command like this:
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Falcon-180B-Chat-GGUF falcon-180b-chat.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
More advanced huggingface-cli download usage
You can also download multiple files at once with a pattern:
huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Falcon-180B-Chat-GGUF --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False --include='*Q4_K*gguf'
For more documentation on downloading with huggingface-cli, please see: HF -> Hub Python Library -> Download files -> Download from the CLI.
To accelerate downloads on fast connections (1Gbit/s or higher), install hf_transfer:
pip3 install hf_transfer
And set environment variable HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER to 1:
HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 huggingface-cli download TheBloke/Falcon-180B-Chat-GGUF falcon-180b-chat.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False
Windows Command Line users: You can set the environment variable by running set HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1 before the download command.
Example llama.cpp command
Make sure you are using llama.cpp from commit d0cee0d or later.
./main -ngl 32 -m falcon-180b-chat.Q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "User: {prompt}\nAssistant:"
Change -ngl 32 to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.
Change -c 2048 to the desired sequence length. For extended sequence models - eg 8K, 16K, 32K - the necessary RoPE scaling parameters are read from the GGUF file and set by llama.cpp automatically.
If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the -p <PROMPT> argument with -i -ins
For other parameters and how to use them, please refer to the llama.cpp documentation
How to run in text-generation-webui
Further instructions here: text-generation-webui/docs/llama.cpp.md.
How to run from Python code
You can use GGUF models from Python using the llama-cpp-python or ctransformers libraries.
How to load this model in Python code, using ctransformers
First install the package
Run one of the following commands, according to your system:
# Base ctransformers with no GPU acceleration
pip install ctransformers
# Or with CUDA GPU acceleration
pip install ctransformers[cuda]
# Or with AMD ROCm GPU acceleration (Linux only)
CT_HIPBLAS=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers
# Or with Metal GPU acceleration for macOS systems only
CT_METAL=1 pip install ctransformers --no-binary ctransformers
Simple ctransformers example code
from ctransformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
# Set gpu_layers to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Set to 0 if no GPU acceleration is available on your system.
llm = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("TheBloke/Falcon-180B-Chat-GGUF", model_file="falcon-180b-chat.Q4_K_M.gguf", model_type="falcon", gpu_layers=50)
print(llm("AI is going to"))

Original model card: Technology Innovation Institute's Falcon 180B Chat
π Falcon-180B-Chat
Falcon-180B-Chat is a 180B parameters causal decoder-only model built by TII based on Falcon-180B and finetuned on a mixture of Ultrachat, Platypus and Airoboros. It is made available under the Falcon-180B TII License and Acceptable Use Policy.
Paper coming soon π
π€ To get started with Falcon (inference, finetuning, quantization, etc.), we recommend reading this great blogpost from HF or this one from the release of the 40B!
Note that since the 180B is larger than what can easily be handled with transformers+acccelerate, we recommend using Text Generation Inference.
You will need at least 400GB of memory to swiftly run inference with Falcon-180B.
Why use Falcon-180B-chat?
- β¨ You are looking for a ready-to-use chat/instruct model based on Falcon-180B.
- It is the best open-access model currently available, and one of the best model overall. Falcon-180B outperforms LLaMA-2, StableLM, RedPajama, MPT, etc. See the OpenLLM Leaderboard.
- It features an architecture optimized for inference, with multiquery (Shazeer et al., 2019).
- It is made available under a permissive license allowing for commercial use.
π¬ This is a Chat model, which may not be ideal for further finetuning. If you are interested in building your own instruct/chat model, we recommend starting from Falcon-180B.
πΈ Looking for a smaller, less expensive model? Falcon-7B-Instruct and Falcon-40B-Instruct are Falcon-180B-Chat's little brothers!
π₯ Falcon LLMs require PyTorch 2.0 for use with transformers!

Uses
See the acceptable use policy.
Direct Use
Falcon-180B-Chat has been finetuned on a chat dataset.
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-180B-Chat is mostly trained on English data, 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-180B-Chat to develop guardrails and to take appropriate precautions for any production use.
How to Get Started with the Model
To run inference with the model in full bfloat16 precision you need approximately 8xA100 80GB or equivalent.
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
import transformers
import torch
model = "tiiuae/falcon-180b-chat"
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
Falcon-180B-Chat is based on Falcon-180B.
Training Data
Falcon-180B-Chat is finetuned on a mixture of Ultrachat, Platypus and Airoboros.
The data was tokenized with the Falcon tokenizer.
Evaluation
Paper coming soon.
See the OpenLLM Leaderboard for early results.
Technical Specifications
Model Architecture and Objective
Falcon-180B-Chat 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:
- Positionnal embeddings: rotary (Su et al., 2021);
- Attention: multiquery (Shazeer et al., 2019) and FlashAttention (Dao et al., 2022);
- Decoder-block: parallel attention/MLP with a two layer norms.
For multiquery, we are using an internal variant which uses independent key and values per tensor parallel degree.
| Hyperparameter | Value | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Layers | 80 | |
d_model |
14848 | |
head_dim |
64 | Reduced to optimise for FlashAttention |
| Vocabulary | 65024 | |
| Sequence length | 2048 |
Compute Infrastructure
Hardware
Falcon-180B-Chat was trained on AWS SageMaker, on up to 4,096 A100 40GB GPUs in P4d instances.
Software
Falcon-180B-Chat was trained a custom distributed training codebase, Gigatron. It uses a 3D parallelism approach combined with ZeRO and high-performance Triton kernels (FlashAttention, etc.)
