The TinyLlama project aims to pretrain a 1.1B Llama model on 3 trillion tokens. With some proper optimization, we can achieve this within a span of "just" 90 days using 16 A100-40G GPUs 🚀🚀. The training has started on 2023-09-01.

We adopted exactly the same architecture and tokenizer as Llama 2. This means TinyLlama can be plugged and played in many open-source projects built upon Llama. Besides, TinyLlama is compact with only 1.1B parameters. This compactness allows it to cater to a multitude of applications demanding a restricted computation and memory footprint.

This Model#

This is an intermediate checkpoint with 995K steps and 2003B tokens.

Releases Schedule#

We will be rolling out intermediate checkpoints following the below schedule. We also include some baseline models for comparison.

How to use#

You will need the transformers>=4.31 Do check the TinyLlama github page for more information.

from paddlenlp.transformers import AutoTokenizer
import transformers 
import paddle

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model)
pipeline = transformers.pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model=model,
    dtype=paddle.float16,
)

sequences = pipeline(
    'The TinyLlama project aims to pretrain a 1.1B Llama model on 3 trillion tokens. With some proper optimization, we can achieve this within a span of "just" 90 days using 16 A100-40G GPUs 🚀🚀. The training has started on 2023-09-01.',
    do_sample=True,

    repetition_penalty=1.5,
    eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
