In this exhilarating video from sentdex, we dive headfirst into the world of the Falcon large language model falcon 40b instruct. This beast of a model, boasting 40 billion parameters, is a force to be reckoned with in the hugging face large language model leaderboards. But how does it fare in the real world, you ask? Well, fear not, as sentdex takes us on a thrilling ride through its practical applications and potential use cases.
With two size variants available - the 40b and 7b models - along with fine-tuned versions like instruction or instruct, the Falcon model offers a versatile toolkit for text generation and specific task fine-tuning. The models, generously licensed under Apache 2.0, open doors for commercial use and distribution, making them a dream come true for businesses. And let's not forget the AI team behind Falcon, offering compute grant money for projects utilizing this cutting-edge technology. It's like having a supercharged engine under the hood, ready to power your AI endeavors to new heights.
But wait, there's more! Running these models locally may require a hefty chunk of memory, with the 40b variant demanding up to 55 gigabytes at 8 Bits. For optimal performance, sentdex recommends the Lambda h100 80 gigabyte card instances, offering the best bang for your buck in cloud hosting. And getting set up to run Falcon models? Just a torch 2.0 upgrade away, with all the relevant code snippets available on GitHub. It's like fine-tuning a high-performance machine, gearing up for an adrenaline-fueled race in the world of AI development. So buckle up, folks, as we embark on an electrifying journey through the realm of Falcon 40b instruct, where the possibilities are as vast as the open road ahead.
