Open Llama 3B V2 Parameters and Internals

Model Type

large language model

Additional Notes

Please note that it is advised to avoid using the Hugging Face fast tokenizer for now, as it sometimes gives incorrect tokenizations. This can be avoided by using 'use_fast=False'.

Training Details

Data Sources:

tiiuae/falcon-refinedweb, bigcode/starcoderdata, togethercomputer/RedPajama-Data-1T

Data Volume:

1 trillion tokens

Methodology:

Pre-trained with open datasets rather than the original LLaMA dataset, using the EasyLM framework.

Hardware Used:

cloud TPU-v4s
