#### Model Name: Granite-7b-base

#### License: Apache-2.0

#### Languages: Primarily English

#### Architecture: The model architecture is a replica of Meta’s Llama2-7B base variant with MHA, trained with 1M batch size on 2T tokens.

#### Context Length: 4k tokens

#### Tokenizer: Llama2

#### Model Developers: IBM Research

Representing IBM’s commitment to open source innovation IBM has released granite-7b-base, a base pre-trained LLM from IBM’s Granite model series, under an apache-2.0 license for community and commercial use.  Granite-7b-base was pre-trained from scratch on IBM-curated data as an open reference implementation of Meta’s Llama-2-7B.  In a commitment to data transparency and fostering open innovation, the data sources, sampling proportions, and URLs for access are provided below.

#### Pre-Training Data

The model was trained on 2T tokens, with sampling proportions designed to match the sampling distributions released in the Llama1 paper as closely as possible.
