# Training Details ## Training Data Falcon-Mamba has been trained with ~ 5,500 GT mainly coming from [Refined-Web](https://huggingface.co/datasets/tiiuae/falcon-refinedweb), a large volume web-only dataset filtered and deduplicated. Similar to the others [Falcon](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-11B) suite models, Falcon-Mamba has been trained leveraging a multi-stage training strategy to increase the context-length training from 2,048 up to 8,192. Note that at inference the context-length is not relevant as the Mamba architecture has no limit on long range dependency. At the last training stage, small portion of high-quality curated data was used to further enhance performance. Overall, the data sources included RefinedWeb-English, high quality technical data, code data and conversational data extracted from public sources. In particular, we used samples coming from [Fineweb-edu](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu). The data was tokenized with the Falcon-[7B](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7B)/[11B](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-11B) tokenizer. ## Training Procedure Falcon-Mamba-7B was trained on 256 H100 80GB GPUs for the majority of the training, using a 3D parallelism strategy (TP=1, PP=1, DP=256) combined with ZeRO. #### Training Hyperparameters | **Hyperparameter** | **Value** | **Comment** | |--------------------|------------|-------------------------------------------| | Precision | `bfloat16` | | | Optimizer | AdamW | | | Max learning rate | 6.4e-4 | Following a WSD (warmup-stable-decay) learning rate schedule | | Weight decay | 1e-1 | | | Batch size | 2048 | | The model was trained AdamW optimizer, WSD (warmup-stable-decay) learning rate schedule, and a batch size rampup from \\(b_{\mathrm{min}}=128\\) to \\(b_{\mathrm{max}}=2048\\) during first 50 GT of training. In the stable phase we used maximal learning rate \\(\eta_{\mathrm{max}}=6.4 \times 10^{-4}\\), and decayed it to the minimal value \\(\eta_{\mathrm{min}}=\frac{\eta_{\mathrm{max}}}{256}\\) with exponential schedule over 500 GT. Also, we applied *BatchScaling* during the rampup — rescaling learning rate \\(\eta\\) so that the Adam noise temperature \\(T_{\mathrm{noise}}\equiv\frac{\eta}{\sqrt{b}}\\) is kept constant. #### Speeds, Sizes, Times The model training took roughly two months. # Evaluation ## Benchmarks We evaluate our model on all benchmarks of the leaderboard's version 2 using the `lm-evaluation-harness` package, and we evaluate it on the benchmarks of version 1 using `lighteval`. | `model name` |`IFEval`| `BBH` |`MATH LvL5`| `GPQA`| `MUSR`|`MMLU-PRO`|`Average`| |:--------------------------|:------:|:-----:|:---------:|:-----:|:-----:|:--------:|:-------:| | ***Pure SSM models*** | | | | | | | | | `Falcon-Mamba-7B` | 33.36 | 19.88 | 3.63 | 8.05 | 10.86 | 14.47 |**15.04**| | `TRI-ML/mamba-7b-rw` | 22.46 | 6.71 | 0.45 | 1.12 | 5.51 | 1.69 | 6.25 | |***Hybrid SSM-attention models*** | | | | | | | | `Zamba-7B-v1` | 24.06 | 21.12 | 3.32 | 3.03 | 7.74 | 16.02 | 12.55 | |`recurrentgemma-9b` | 30.76 | 14.80 | 4.83 | 4.70 | 6.60 | 17.88 | 13.20 | |***Transformer models*** | | | | | | | | | `Falcon2-11B` | 32.61 | 21.94 | 2.34 | 2.80 | 7.53 | 15.44 | 13.78 | | `Meta-Llama-3-8B` | 14.55 | 24.50 | 3.25 | 7.38 | 6.24 | 24.55 | 13.41 | | `gemma-7B` | 26.59 | 21.12 | 6.42 | 4.92 | 10.98 | 21.64 |**15.28**| | `Mistral-7B-v0.1` | 23.86 | 22.02 | 2.49 | 5.59 | 10.68 | 22.36 | 14.50 | | `Mistral-Nemo-Base` | 16.83 | 29.37 | 4.98 | 5.82 | 6.52 | 27.46 | 15.08 | | `model name` |`ARC`|`HellaSwag` |`MMLU` |`Winogrande`|`TruthfulQA`|`GSM8K`|`Average` | |:-----------------------------|:------:|:---------:|:-----:|:----------:|:----------:|:-----:|:----------------:| | ***Pure SSM models*** | | | | | | | | | `Falcon-Mamba-7B` |62.03 | 80.82 | 62.11 | 73.64 | 53.42 | 52.54 | **64.09** | | `TRI-ML/mamba-7b-rw` | 46.48 | 80.24 | 57.72 | 76.40 | - | 4.70 | - | |***Hybrid SSM-attention models***| | | | | | | | | `recurrentgemma-9b` |52.00 | 80.40 | 60.50 | 73.60 | 38.60 | 42.60 | 57.95 | | `Zyphra/Zamba-7B-v1` | 46.48 | 80.24 | 57.72 | 76.40 | - | 30.78 | - | |***Transformer models*** | | | | | | | | | `Falcon2-11B` | 59.73 | 82.91 | 58.37 | 78.30 | 52.56 | 53.83 | **64.28** | | `Meta-Llama-3-8B` | 60.24 | 82.23 | 66.70 | 78.45 | 42.93 | 45.19 | 62.62 | | `gemma-7B` | 61.09 | 82.20 | 64.56 | 79.01 | 44.79 | 50.87 | 63.75 | | `Mistral-7B-v0.1` | 59.98 | 83.31 | 64.16 | 78.37 | 42.15 | 37.83 | 60.97 | ## Throughput This model can achieve comparable throughput and performance compared to other transformer based models that use optimized kernels such as Flash Attention 2.
