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 release's time) 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 using SFT, RLHF, continued pretraining, etc. for most usecases.
Model Details
