About
DeciLM-7B is a cutting-edge large language model developed by Deci AI, featuring 7.04 billion parameters. This model incorporates an advanced transformer decoder architecture, utilizing variable Grouped-Query Attention (GQA) to achieve high accuracy and efficiency. The architecture is fine-tuned using Deci's proprietary Neural Architecture Search technology, AutoNAC, for optimal performance. Capable of handling sequences of up to 8192 tokens, DeciLM-7B outperforms similar or larger models across various benchmarks. An instruction-tuned version, DeciLM-7B-instruct, further enhances its capabilities, especially for instruction-following tasks. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license, making it suitable for both commercial and research use.
