Falcon3-7B-Instruct

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-Instruct. It achieves state of art results (at the time of release) on reasoning, language understanding, instruction following, code and mathematics tasks. Falcon3-7B-Instruct supports 4 languages (english, french, spanish, portuguese) and a context length up to 32K.

Model Details

• Architecture
  • Transformer based causal decoder only architecture
  • 28 decoder blocks
  • Grouped query attention (GQA) for faster inference: 12 query heads and 4 key value heads
  • Wider head dimension: 256
  • High RoPE value to support long context understanding: 1000042
  • Uses SwiGLU and RMSNorm
  • 32K context length
  • 131K vocab size
• Pretrained on 14 Teratokens of datasets comprising of web, code, STEM, high quality and mutlilingual data using 1024 H100 GPU chips
• Postrained on 1.2 million samples of STEM, conversations, 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.
