Falcon3-1B-Instruct-AWQ

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

Falcon3-1B-Instruct achieves strong results on reasoning, language understanding, instruction following, code and mathematics tasks. Falcon3-1B-Instruct supports 4 languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese) and a context length of up to 8K.

Model Details

Architecture
- Transformer-based causal decoder-only architecture
- 18 decoder blocks
- Grouped Query Attention (GQA) for faster inference: 8 query heads and 4 key-value heads
- Wider head dimension: 256
- High RoPE value to support long context understanding: 1000042
- Uses SwiGLU and RMSNorm
- 8K context length
- 131K vocab size
Pruned and healed using larger Falcon models (3B and 7B respectively) on only 80 Gigatokens of datasets comprising of web, code, STEM, high quality and multilingual data using 256 H100 GPU chips
Posttrained on 1.2 million samples of STEM, conversational, code, safety and function call data
Supports EN, FR, ES, PT
Developed by Technology Innovation Institute
License: TII Falcon-LLM License 2.0
Model Release Date: December 2024
Quantization: AWQ 4-bit
