Sheared-LLaMA-2.7B is a model pruned and further pre-trained from meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf. We dynamically load data from different domains in the RedPajama dataset. We use 0.4B tokens for pruning and 50B tokens for continued pre-training the pruned model. This model can be loaded into huggingface via

model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("princeton-nlp/Sheared-LLaMA-2.7B")

Smaller-scale
Same vocabulary as LLaMA1 and LLaMA2
Derived with a budget of 50B tokens by utilizing existing strong LLMs

Downstream Tasks

We evaluate on an extensive set of downstream tasks including reasoning, reading comprehension, language modeling and knowledge intensive tasks. Our Sheared-LLaMA models outperform existing large language models.
