Falcon3-7B-Base

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

This repository contains the Falcon3-7B-Base. It achieves state of art results (at the time of release) on reasoning, language understanding, instruction following, code and mathematics tasks. Falcon3-7B-Base supports 4 languages (english, french, spanish, portuguese) and a context length up to 32K.

⚠️ This is a raw, pretrained model, which should be further finetuned for most usecases.

Model Details

  • Architecture
    • transformer based causal decoder only architecture
    • 28 decoder blocks
    • grouped query attention (GQA) for faster inference: 12 query heads and 4 KV heads
    • wider head dimension: 256
    • high RoPE value to support long context understanding: 1000042
    • 32k context length
    • 131k vocab size
  • Pretrained on 14 Teratokens of datasets comprising of web, code, STEM, high quality and mutlilingual data using 1024 H100 GPU chips
  • Supports EN, FR, ES, PT
  • Developed by Technology Innovation Institute
  • License: TII Falcon-LLM License 2.0
  • Model Release Date: December 2024
