# TL;DR
# Model Details
## Model Description
- **Developed by:** [https://www.tii.ae](https://www.tii.ae)
- **Model type:** Causal decoder-only
- **Architecture:** Hybrid Transformers + Mamba architecture
- **Language(s) (NLP):** English, Multilingual
- **License:** Falcon-LLM License
# Training details
For more details about the training protocol of this model, please refer to the [Falcon-H1 technical blogpost](https://falcon-lm.github.io/blog/falcon-h1/).
# Usage
Currently to use this model you can either rely on Hugging Face `transformers`, `vLLM` or our custom fork of `llama.cpp` library.
## Inference
Make sure to install the latest version of `transformers` or `vllm`, eventually install these packages from source:
```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git
```
For vLLM, make sure to install `vllm>=0.9.0`:
```bash
pip install "vllm>=0.9.0"
```
### 🤗 transformers
Refer to the snippet below to run H1 models using 🤗 transformers:
```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_id = "tiiuae/Falcon-H1-1B-Base"
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_id,
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
device_map="auto"
)
# Perform text generation
```
### vLLM
For vLLM, simply start a server by executing the command below:
```
# pip install vllm>=0.9.0
vllm serve tiiuae/Falcon-H1-1B-Instruct --tensor-parallel-size 2 --data-parallel-size 1
```
### `llama.cpp`
While we are working on integrating our architecture directly into `llama.cpp` library, you can install our fork of the library and use it directly: https://github.com/tiiuae/llama.cpp-Falcon-H1
Use the same installing guidelines as `llama.cpp`.
# Evaluation
Falcon-H1 series perform very well on a variety of tasks, including reasoning tasks.
