# Triangle104/Falcon3-Mamba-7B-Instruct-Q8_0-GGUF
This model was converted to GGUF format from [`tiiuae/Falcon3-Mamba-7B-Instruct`](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/Falcon3-Mamba-7B-Instruct) using llama.cpp via the ggml.ai's [GGUF-my-repo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/ggml-org/gguf-my-repo) space.
Refer to the [original model card](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/Falcon3-Mamba-7B-Instruct) for more details on the model.

Model details:
-
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-Instruct. 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-Instruct supports a context length up to 32K and was mainly trained on english corpus.

Model Details

    Architecture (same as 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_size: 16
        32k context length
        65k vocab size
    Continue Pretrained from Falcon-Mamba-7b, with another 1500 Gigatokens of data consisting of web, code, STEM and high quality data.
    Postrained on 1.2 million samples of STEM, conversations, code, and safety.

## Use with llama.cpp
Install llama.cpp through brew (works on Mac and Linux)

```bash
brew install llama.cpp

```
Invoke the llama.cpp server or the CLI.

### CLI:
```bash
llama-cli --hf-repo Triangle104/Falcon3-Mamba-7B-Instruct-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file falcon3-mamba-7b-instruct-q8_0.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"
```

### Server:
```bash
llama-server --hf-repo Triangle104/Falcon3-Mamba-7B-Instruct-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file falcon3-mamba-7b-instruct-q8_0.gguf -c 2048
```

Note: You can also use this checkpoint directly through the [usage steps](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp?tab=readme-ov-file#usage) listed in the Llama.cpp repo as well.

Step 1: Clone llama.cpp from GitHub.
```
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
```

Step 2: Move into the llama.cpp folder and build it with `LLAMA_CURL=1` flag along with other hardware-specific flags (for ex: LLAMA_CUDA=1 for Nvidia GPUs on Linux).
```
cd llama.cpp && LLAMA_CURL=1 make
```

Step 3: Run inference through the main binary.
```
./llama-cli --hf-repo Triangle104/Falcon3-Mamba-7B-Instruct-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file falcon3-mamba-7b-instruct-q8_0.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"
```
or 
```
./llama-server --hf-repo Triangle104/Falcon3-Mamba-7B-Instruct-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file falcon3-mamba-7b-instruct-q8_0.gguf -c 2048
```
