Falcon3 family of Open Foundation Models is a set of pretrained and instruct LLMs ranging from 1B to 10B parameters.
Falcon3-3B-Instruct achieves strong results on reasoning, language understanding, instruction following, code and mathematics tasks.
Falcon3-3B-Instruct supports 4 languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese) and a context length of up to 32K.
This repository contains the GGUFs instruction-tuned 3B Falcon3 model.
Grouped Query Attention (GQA) for faster inference: 12 query heads and 4 key-value heads
Wider head dimension: 256
High RoPE value to support long context understanding: 1000042
Uses SwiGLU and RMSNorm
32K context length
131K vocab size
Pruned and healed from Falcon3-7B-Base on only 100 Gigatokens of datasets comprising of web, code, STEM, high quality and mutlilingual data using 1024 H100 GPU chips
Posttrained on 1.2 million samples of STEM, conversational, code, safety and function call data
This will download the model to your current directory. Make sure to replace {model_name} with the actual username and model name from your Hugging Face repository.
2. Install llama.cpp
You have several options for installing llama.cpp:
1. Build from source:
This gives you the most flexibility and control. Follow the instructions in the llama.cpp repository to build from source:
For more information about how to build llama.cpp from source please refere to llama.cpp documentation on how to build from source: llama.cpp build from source.
2. Download pre-built binaries:
If you prefer a quicker setup, you can download pre-built binaries for your operating system. Check the llama.cpp repository for available binaries.
3. Use Docker:
For a more contained environment, you can use the official llama.cpp Docker image. Refer to the llama.cpp documentation for instructions on how to use the Docker image.
For detailed instructions and more information, please check the llama.cpp documentation on docker: llama.cpp docker.
3. Start playing with your model
Run simple text completion
llama-cli -m {path-to-gguf-model} -p "I believe the meaning of life is" -n 128
Run in conversation mode
llama-cli -m {path-to-gguf-model} -p "You are a helpful assistant" -cnv -co
