About Falcon-7B
Falcon-7B is a 7B parameters causal decoder-only model built by TII and trained on 1,500B tokens of RefinedWeb enhanced with curated corpora. It is made available under the Apache 2.0 license.
Why use Falcon-7B?
It outperforms comparable open-source models (e.g., MPT-7B, StableLM, RedPajama etc.), thanks to being trained on 1,500B tokens of RefinedWeb enhanced with curated corpora. See the OpenLLM Leaderboard.
It features an architecture optimized for inference, with FlashAttention and multiquery.
It is made available under a permissive Apache 2.0 license allowing for commercial use, without any royalties or restrictions.

Vicuna
Vicuna-13B is an open-source chatbot trained by fine-tuning LLaMA on user-shared conversations collected from ShareGPT. Preliminary evaluation using GPT-4 as a judge shows Vicuna-13B achieves more than 90%* quality of OpenAI ChatGPT and Google Bard while outperforming other models like LLaMA and Stanford Alpaca in more than 90%* of cases. The cost of training Vicuna-13B is around $300. The code and weights, along with an online demo, are publicly available for non-commercial use.

Aya
Aya is a new state-of-the-art, open-source, massively multilingual, generative large language research model (LLM) covering 101 different languages — more than double the number of languages covered by existing open-source models. Aya helps researchers unlock the powerful potential of LLMs for dozens of languages and cultures largely ignored by most advanced models on the market today.
We are open-sourcing both the Aya model, as well as the largest multilingual instruction fine-tuned dataset to-date with a size of 513 million covering 114 languages. This data collection includes rare annotations from native and fluent speakers all around the world, ensuring that AI technology can effectively serve a broad global audience that have had limited access to-date.

RedPajama
Foundation models such as GPT-4 have driven rapid improvement in AI. However, the most powerful models are closed commercial models or only partially open. RedPajama is a project to create a set of leading, fully open-source models. Today, we are excited to announce the completion of the first step of this project: the reproduction of the LLaMA training dataset of over 1.2 trillion tokens.
The most capable foundation models today are closed behind commercial APIs, which limits research, customization, and their use with sensitive data. Fully open-source models hold the promise of removing these limitations, if the open community can close the quality gap between open and closed models. Recently, there has been much progress along this front. In many ways, AI is having its Linux moment. Stable Diffusion showed that open-source can not only rival the quality of commercial offerings like DALL-E but can also lead to incredible creativity from broad participation by communities.

Falcon-40B
Falcon-40B is a 40B parameters causal decoder-only model built by TII and trained on 1,000B tokens of RefinedWeb enhanced with curated corpora. It is made available under the Apache 2.0 license.
Why use Falcon-40B?
It is the best open-source model currently available. Falcon-40B outperforms LLaMA, StableLM, RedPajama, MPT, etc. See the OpenLLM Leaderboard.
It features an architecture optimized for inference, with FlashAttention and multiquery.
It is made available under a permissive Apache 2.0 license allowing for commercial use, without any royalties or restrictions.
⚠️ This is a raw, pretrained model, which should be further finetuned for most usecases. If you are looking for a version better suited to taking generic instructions in a chat format, we recommend taking a look at Falcon-40B-Instruct.
