Model Details

Model Description

Developed by: https://www.tii.ae
Model type: Causal decoder-only
Architecture: Hybrid Transformers + Mamba architecture
Language(s) (NLP): English, Multilingual
License: Falcon-LLM License

Training details

For more details about the training protocol of this model, please refer to the Falcon-H1 technical blogpost.

Usage

Currently to use this model you can either rely on Hugging Face transformers, vLLM or our custom fork of llama.cpp library.

Inference

Make sure to install the latest version of transformers or vllm, eventually install these packages from source:

pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git

For vLLM, make sure to install vllm>=0.9.0:

pip install "vllm>=0.9.0"

🤗 transformers

Refer to the snippet below to run H1 models using 🤗 transformers:

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "tiiuae/Falcon-H1-1B-Base"

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
  model_id,
  torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
  device_map="auto"
)

# Perform text generation

vLLM

For vLLM, simply start a server by executing the command below:

# pip install vllm>=0.9.0
vllm serve tiiuae/Falcon-H1-1B-Instruct --tensor-parallel-size 2 --data-parallel-size 1

`llama.cpp`

While we are working on integrating our architecture directly into llama.cpp library, you can install our fork of the library and use it directly: https://github.com/tiiuae/llama.cpp-Falcon-H1 Use the same installing guidelines as llama.cpp.

Evaluation

Falcon-H1 series perform very well on a variety of tasks, including reasoning tasks.
