Falcon-RW-1B
Falcon-RW-1B is a 1B parameters causal decoder-only model built by TII and trained on 350B tokens of RefinedWeb. It is made available under the TII Falcon LLM License.
Paper coming soon 😊.
RefinedWeb is a high-quality web dataset built by leveraging stringent filtering and large-scale deduplication. Falcon-RW-1B, trained on RefinedWeb only, matches or outperforms comparable models trained on curated data.
⚠️ This model is intended for use as a research artifact, to study the influence of training on web data alone. If you are interested in state-of-the-art models, we recommend using Falcon-7B/40B, both trained on >1,000 billion tokens.

Uses
Direct Use
Research on large language models, and the influence of adequately filtered and deduplicated web data on the properties of large language models (fairness, safety, limitations, capabilities, etc.).
Out-of-Scope Use
Production use without adequate assessment of risks and mitigation; any use cases which may be considered irresponsible or harmful.
Broadly speaking, we would recommend Falcon-7B/40B for any use not directly related to research on web data pipelines.
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
Falcon-RW-1B is trained on English data only, 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-RW-1B to consider finetuning it for the specific set of tasks of interest, and for guardrails and appropriate precautions to be taken for any production use.

Training Details
Training Data
Falcon-RW-1B was trained on 350B tokens of RefinedWeb, a high-quality filtered and deduplicated web dataset. The data was tokenized with the GPT-2 tokenizer.
Training Procedure
Falcon-RW-1B was trained on 32 A100 40GB GPUs, using only data parallelism with ZeRO.
Training Hyperparameters
Hyperparameters were adapted from the GPT-3 paper (Brown et al., 2020).
- Precision: bf16;
- Optimizer: Adam;
- Learning rate: 2e-4 (500M tokens warm-up, followed by cosine decay to 2e-5);
- Weight decay: 0.1;
- Batch size: 512 (with a 4B tokens ramp-up).
Speeds, Sizes, Times [optional]
Training happened in early December 2022 and took about six days.
Evaluation
Paper coming soon.
Technical Specifications
Model Architecture and Objective
Falcon-RW-1B is a causal decoder-only model trained on a causal language modeling task (i.e., predict the next token).
Compute Infrastructure
Hardware
Falcon-RW-1B was trained on AWS SageMaker, on 32 A100 40GB GPUs in P4d instances.
Software
Falcon-RW-1B was trained a custom distributed training codebase, Gigatron. It uses a 3D parallelism approach combined with ZeRO and high-performance Triton kernels (FlashAttention, etc.)
