# Falcon-40b-Instruct (4-bit 128g AWQ Quantized)
[Falcon-40b-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b-instruct) is a 40B parameters causal decoder-only model built by [TII](https://www.tii.ae) based on [Falcon-40B](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b) and finetuned on a mixture of chat/instruct datasets.

This model is a 4-bit 128 group size AWQ quantized model. For more information about AWQ quantization, please click [here](https://github.com/mit-han-lab/llm-awq).

## Model Date

July 5, 2023

## Model License

Please refer to original Falcon model license ([link](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b-instruct)).

Please refer to the AWQ quantization license ([link](https://github.com/llm-awq/blob/main/LICENSE)).

## CUDA Version

This model was successfully tested on CUDA driver v530.30.02 and runtime v11.7 with Python v3.10.11. Please note that AWQ requires NVIDIA GPUs with compute capability of `8.0` or higher.
