✨ Falcon-40B-Instruct
Falcon-40B-Instruct is a 40B parameters causal decoder-only model built by TII based on Falcon-40B and finetuned on a mixture of Baize. It is made available under the Apache 2.0 license.
Paper coming soon 😊.
Why use Falcon-40B-Instruct?
- You are looking for a ready-to-use chat/instruct model based on Falcon-40B.
- Falcon-40B is the best open-source model available. It outperforms LLaMA, StableLM, RedPajama, MPT, etc. See the OpenLLM Leaderboard.
- It features an architecture optimized for inference, with FlashAttention (Dao et al., 2022) and multiquery (Shazeer et al., 2019).
💬 This is an instruct model, which may not be ideal for further finetuning. If you are interested in building your own instruct/chat model, we recommend starting from Falcon-40B.
💸 Looking for a smaller, less expensive model? Falcon-7B-Instruct is Falcon-40B-Instruct's little brother!

Uses
Direct Use
Falcon-40B-Instruct has been finetuned on a chat dataset.
Out-of-Scope Use
Production use without adequate assessment of risks and mitigation; any use cases which may be considered irresponsible or harmful.
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
Falcon-40B-Instruct is mostly trained on English data, and will not generalize appropriately to other languages. Furthermore, as it is trained on a large-scale corpora representative of the web, it will carry the stereotypes and biases commonly encountered online.
Recommendations
We recommend users of Falcon-40B-Instruct to develop guardrails and to take appropriate precautions for any production use.
How to Get Started with the Model

Training Details
Training Data
Falcon-40B-Instruct was finetuned on a 150M tokens from Bai ze mixed with 5% of RefinedWeb data.
The data was tokenized with the Falcon-7B/40B tokenizer.
Evaluation
Paper coming soon.
See the OpenLLM Leaderboard for early results.
Technical Specifications

Model Architecture and Objective
Falcon-40B is a causal decoder-only model trained on a causal language modeling task (i.e., predict the next token).
The architecture is broadly adapted from the GPT-3 paper (Brown et al., 2020), with the following differences:
- Positionnal embeddings: rotary (Su et al., 2021);
- Attention: multiquery (Shazeer et al., 2019) and FlashAttention (Dao et al., 2022);
- Decoder-block: parallel attention/MLP with a single layer norm.
For multiquery, we are using an internal variant which uses independent key and values per tensor parallel degree.

Compute Infrastructure
Hardware
Falcon-40B-Instruct was trained on AWS SageMaker, on 64 A100 40GB GPUs in P4d instances.
Software
Falcon-40B-Instruct was trained a custom distributed training codebase, Gigatron. It uses a 3D parallelism approach combined with ZeRO and high-performance Triton kernels (FlashAttention, etc.)
