FLM-101B
FLM-101B is an open-source decoder-only LLM with 101 billion parameters. During the training process, model growth technique was employed. The model rapidly acquires knowledge on a small-scale model(16B) in the early stages of training and gradually scales up to 101B, resulting in a cost-effective 100B-scale LLM training(costing approximately $100,000). FLM-101B supports both Chinese and English languages. It has a context window length of 2048 in training. Thanks to the use of xPos rotary position embedding, it allows for efficient expansion of the window size during inference.
To advance the development of 100B-scale Large Language Models (LLMs), FLM-101B has now been fully open-sourced.
Why use FLM-101B
- It's an open-source 100B scaled Chinese-English bilingual model.
- It's the largest known language model trained with xPos.
- It's the largest known language model that successfully implements μp transfer and loss prediction.
- It's the largest known language model that successfully implements progressive learning with model growth.
Quick Started with FLM-101B
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("CofeAI/FLM-101B", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("CofeAI/FLM-101B", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, low_cpu_mem_usage=True, device_map="auto", trust_remote_code=True)
inputs = tokenizer('A house without books is like a body without a soul;', return_tensors='pt').to(model.device)
generated = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=64, repetition_penalty=1.1)
print(tokenizer.decode(generated.cpu()[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Hardware
FLM-101B is trained on a cluster of 24 DGX-A800 GPU (8×80G) servers for less than 26 days. Based on the growth strategy, we sequentially completed the model training for sizes 16B, 51B, and 101B on this cluster.
Software
FLM-101B was trained with Megatron-FLM(open source soon...) which is modified based on Megatron-LM. It uses a 3D(DP+TP+PP) parallelism approach and distributed optimizer.
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
Although we've made extensive efforts to thoroughly clean and filter the training corpus for the model, due to the open nature of the dataset, the model may still have picked up on some unsafe examples. Consequently, the model may still generate unexpected content, including but not limited to discrimination, bias, or offensive language. We would like to strongly advise users not to spread any unsafe content generated by the model. The project developers cannot be held responsible for any repercussions stemming from the dissemination of harmful information.
