About
The Technology Innovation Institute (TII), established in 2019 in Abu Dhabi, is a pioneering global scientific research center under the Advanced Technology Research Council. As a hub for advanced research and development, TII is noted for its innovative approach in converging cutting-edge technologies, particularly in the realm of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs). What sets TII apart is its strategic focus on open-source initiatives. Through the Falcon Foundation, a non-profit arm of TII, the institute has made a substantial commitment—pledging US$300 million—to promote open-source generative AI models and cultivate ecosystems that encourage broader collaboration. This openness is a departure from the typically proprietary nature of LLMs, highlighting TII's dedication to transparency, collaboration, and innovation. TII's dedicated work on the Falcon series of models exemplifies its prowess in generative AI. The Falcon Mamba 7B, a State Space Language Model, stands out for leading in global rankings due to its efficiency in memory usage and its capability to produce extended blocks of text. The Falcon 40B, also open-sourced, has been celebrated for its robust performance despite the enormity of its dataset of one trillion tokens. By releasing the Falcon 2 series, which includes vision-to-language capabilities, TII expands the horizons of LLM applications, converting visual data into text. The institute fosters a research environment that encourages innovation and makes advanced AI technologies accessible. By adopting open-source models and significant funding, TII not only benefits global research but also empowers small and medium-sized enterprises, facilitating the development of commercially viable AI solutions with a profound societal impact.
