✨ Falcon-7B-Instruct
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.
Paper coming soon 😊.
🤗 To get started with Falcon (inference, finetuning, quantization, etc.), we recommend reading this great blogpost fron HF!
Why use Falcon-7B-Instruct?
You are looking for a ready-to-use chat/instruct model based on Falcon-7B.
Falcon-7B is a strong base model, outperforming 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.
💬 This is an instruct model, which may not be ideal for further finetuning. If you are interested in building your own instruct/chat model, we recommend starting from Falcon-7B.
🔥 Looking for an even more powerful model?Falcon-40B-Instruct is Falcon-7B-Instruct's big brother!

💥 Falcon LLMs require PyTorch 2.0 for use with transformers!
Falcon-7B-Instruct has been finetuned on a mixture of instruct and chat datasets.
Out-of-Scope Use
Production use without adequate assessment of risks and mitigation; any use cases which may be considered irresponsible or harmful.
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
Falcon-7B-Instruct is mostly trained on English data, and will not generalize appropriately to other languages. Furthermore, as it is trained on a large-scale corpora representative of the web, it will carry the stereotypes and biases commonly encountered online.
Recommendations
We recommend users of Falcon-7B-Instruct to develop guardrails and to take appropriate precautions for any production use.
