Ref-Pretrain-Qwen-104M

paper | code

Ref-Pretrain-Qwen-104M is a 104M model with Qwen achitecture conventionally pre-trained from scratch on the Pile for 5B tokens.

We also open-source the tokenized pre-training corpus for reproducibility.

It is used as the reference model in the MiniPLM knwoledge distillation framework to construct the refined pre-training corpus. The data is then used to train MiniPLM models.

Evaluation

MiniPLM models achieves better performance given the same computation and scales well across model sizes:
