About this model

Falcon-7B-Instruct is a 7B parameters causal decoder-only model built by TII based on Falcon-7B and finetuned on a mixture of chat/instruct datasets. It is made available under the Apache 2.0 license.

  • โ€ขYou are looking for a ready-to-use chat/instruct model based on Falcon-7B
  • โ€ขFalcon-7B is a strong base model, outperforming comparable open-source models: (e.g., MPT-7B, StableLM, RedPajama etc.), thanks to being trained...
  • โ€ขIt features an architecture optimized for inference: , with FlashAttention (Dao et al., 2022) and multiquery (Shazeer et al., 2019)
