Falcon3-1B-Instruct-GPTQ-Int4

Falcon3 family of Open Foundation Models is a set of pretrained and instruct LLMs ranging from 1B to 10B parameters.

Falcon3-1B-Instruct achieves strong results on reasoning, language understanding, instruction following, code and mathematics tasks. Falcon3-1B-Instruct supports 4 languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese) and a context length of up to 8K.

Model Details

• Architecture
  • Transformer-based causal decoder-only architecture
  • 18 decoder blocks
