Falcon3-1B-Instruct

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

This repository contains the Falcon3-1B-Instruct. It 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

Benchmarks

We report in the following table our internal pipeline benchmarks.

  • We use lm-evaluation harness.
  • We report raw scores obtained by applying chat template without fewshot_as_multiturn (unlike Llama3.1).
  • We use same batch-size across all models.
