# Falcon3-7B-Base

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

⚠️ **This is a raw, pretrained model, which should be further finetuned for most usecases.** 

## Model Details
- Architecture
  - transformer based causal decoder only architecture
  - 28 decoder blocks
  - grouped query attention (GQA) for faster inference: 12 query heads and 4 KV heads
  - wider head dimension: 256
  - high RoPE value to support long context understanding: 1000042
  - 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
- Supports EN, FR, ES, PT
- Developed by [Technology Innovation Institute](https://www.tii.ae)
- License: TII Falcon-LLM License 2.0
- Model Release Date: December 2024


## Getting started

<details>
<summary> Click to expand </summary>

```python
import torch
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation", 
    model="tiiuae/Falcon3-7B-Base", 
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, 
    device_map="auto"
)
response = pipe("Question: How many hours in one day? Answer: ")
print(response[0]['generated_text'])
```

## Benchmarks
We report in the following table our internal pipeline benchmarks.
 - We use [lm-evaluation harness](https://github.com/EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness).
 - We report **raw scores**.
 - We use same batch-size across all models.
