Gemstone-256x23 is part of the Gemstone Suite of Models. A set of models trained with varying widths and depths.
Training
We train using litgpt and AxoNN using AMD MI250X GPUs on Frontier at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with a global batch size of 2048.
Data
Train and validation data is taken from non-overlapping subsets of dolma. As such it is not an instruction model.
This model is trained for 350 billion tokens, we upload checkpoints every 2 billion tokens (477 steps).
Using Gemstone-256x23
The Gemstones are based on the gemma-2b architecture and use modeling_gemma.py to run using the transformers library.
Licence
This model is released under the apache-2.0 licence.
