# VanillaKD-Pretrain-Qwen-200M

[paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.17215) | [code](https://github.com/thu-coai/MiniPLM)

**VanillaKD-Pretrain-Qwen-200M** is a 200M model with Qwen achitecture pre-trained with vanilla token-level knowledge distillation on [the Pile](https://huggingface.co/datasets/monology/pile-uncopyrighted) for 50B tokens. The teacher model is [Qwen1.5-1.8B](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen1.5-1.8B).

We also open-source the tokenized [pre-training corpus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/MiniLLM/pile-tokenized) for reproducibility.

**It is used as the baseline for [MiniLLM-Qwen-200M](https://huggingface.co/MiniLLM/MiniPLM-Qwen-200M)**

## Evaluation

MiniPLM models achieves better performance given the same computation and scales well across model sizes:
