# Falcon3-Mamba-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-Mamba-7B**. It achieves, compared to similar SSM-based models of the same size, state of art results (at release's time) on reasoning, language understanding, instruction following, code and mathematics tasks.
Falcon3-Mamba-7B-Base supports a context length up to 32K and was mainly trained on english corpus.

## Model Details
- Architecture (same as [Falcon-Mamba-7b](https://huggingface.co./tiiuae/falcon-mamba-7b))
  - Mamba1 based causal decoder only architecture trained on a causal language modeling task (i.e., predict the next token).
  - 64 decoder blocks
  - width: 4096
  - state dimension: 16 
  - 32k context length
  - 65k vocab size
- Continue Pretrained from Falcon Mamba 7B, with another 1500 Gigatokens of data comprising of web, code, STEM and high quality data.
- Postrained on 1.2 million samples of STEM, conversations, code, and safety.
- Developed by [Technology Innovation Institute](https://www.tii.ae)
- License: TII Falcon-LLM License 2.0
- Model Release Date: December 2024

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM


from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "tiiuae/Falcon3-Mamba-7B-Base"

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    torch_dtype="auto",
    device_map="auto"
)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

prompt = "How many hours in one day?"
messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful friendly assistant Falcon3 from TII, try to follow instructions as much as possible."},
    {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True
)
model_inputs = tokenizer([text], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(
    **model_inputs,
    max_new_tokens=1024
)
generated_ids = [
    output_ids[len(input_ids):] for input_ids, output_ids in zip(model_inputs.input_ids, generated_ids)
]

response = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0]
print(response)
