ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a leading global scientific research center and the applied research pillar of Abu Dhabi's Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), has released a new large language model in its Falcon series, the Falcon Mamba 7B. The new model is the no. 1 globally performing open source State Space Language Model (SSLM) in the world, as independently verified by Hugging Face. As the first SSLM for Falcon, it departs from prior Falcon models which all use a transformer-based architecture. This new Falcon Mamba 7B model is yet another example of the pioneering research the institute is conducting and the breakthrough tools and products it makes available to the community in an open source format.
