Model Card

This model is pretrained Attention (Llama architecture) model. The goal of this model is to provide a quality reference for the Based architecture.

As a quality reference, we include a pretrained Mamba model provided here: https://huggingface.co/hazyresearch/mamba-1b, and a pretrained Based model provided here: https://huggingface.co/hazyresearch/based-1b

All three checkpoints are pretrained on 10Bn tokens of the Pile in the exact same data order using next token prediction.

Model Sources

The model implementation and training code that produced the model are provided here: https://github.com/HazyResearch/based

Uses

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the language modeling quality of a new efficient architecture, Based.

We include a series of benchmarks that you can use to evaluate quality:

• FDA: https://huggingface.co/datasets/hazyresearch/based-fda
• SWDE: https://huggingface.co/datasets/hazyresearch/based-swde
• SQUAD: https://huggingface.co/datasets/hazyresearch/based-squad
