Falcon

Falcon is a family of large language models released by the UAE’s Technology Innovation Institute (TII). Falcon's 40B model was trained on AWS Cloud continuously for two months with 384 GPUs. The pre training data largely consisted of public data, with few data sources taken from research papers and social media conversations.

Offering high performance, whilst also being more cost-effective than competitors, Falcon garnered the #1 spot on Hugging Face's latest open large language model leaderboard (considered to be the world's most definitive independent verifier of AI models).
