Falcon-40B
Falcon-40B is a 40B parameters causal decoder-only model built by TII and trained on 1,000B tokens of RefinedWeb enhanced with curated corpora. It is made available under the Apache 2.0 license.
Why use Falcon-40B?
It is the best open-source model currently available. Falcon-40B outperforms LLaMA, StableLM, RedPajama, MPT, etc. See the OpenLLM Leaderboard.
It features an architecture optimized for inference, with FlashAttention and multiquery.
It is made available under a permissive Apache 2.0 license allowing for commercial use, without any royalties or restrictions.
⚠️ This is a raw, pretrained model, which should be further finetuned for most usecases. If you are looking for a version better suited to taking generic instructions in a chat format, we recommend taking a look at Falcon-40B-Instruct.

Falcon Mamba 7B
Falcon Mamba 7B is the first open-source State Space Language Model (SSLM), introducing a groundbreaking architecture for Falcon models. Recognized as the top-performing open-source SSLM worldwide by Hugging Face, it sets a new benchmark in AI efficiency. Unlike traditional transformers, SSLMs operate with minimal memory requirements and can generate extended text sequences without additional overhead. Falcon Mamba 7B surpasses leading transformer-based models, including Meta’s Llama 3.1 8B and Mistral’s 7B, showcasing superior performance. This innovation underscores Abu Dhabi’s commitment to advancing AI research and development on a global scale.

LLaVA
LLaVA (Large Language-and-Vision Assistant) is an innovative multimodal model that integrates a vision encoder with the Vicuna language model to facilitate comprehensive visual and language understanding. Through end-to-end training, LLaVA exhibits impressive chat capabilities, emulating the multimodal functionalities of models like GPT-4. Notably, LLaVA-1.5 has achieved state-of-the-art performance across 11 benchmarks, utilizing publicly available data and completing training in approximately one day on a single 8-A100 node, surpassing methods that rely on billion-scale datasets. The development of LLaVA involved the creation of a multimodal instruction-following dataset, generated using language-only GPT-4. This dataset comprises 158,000 unique language-image instruction-following samples, including conversations, detailed descriptions, and complex reasoning tasks. This data has been instrumental in training LLaVA to perform a wide array of visual and language tasks effectively.
