Falcon Models

**Overview**

The Falcon models are large language models (LLMs) developed by TII. The models provided in this listing are

- [falcon-7b](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b)
- [falcon-40b](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b)
- [falcon-7b-instruct](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct)
- [falcon-40b-instruct](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b-instruct)

The models are packaged using MLflow’s transformers flavor.
- [falcon-7b](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b), [falcon-40b](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b): pretrained generative text model that can be used for further fine-tuning on specific applications.
- [falcon-7b-instruct](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct), [falcon-40b-instruct](https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b-instruct): instruct fine-tuned for short-form instruction following.

**Product details**

The pre-trained model can be used for further fine-tuning on specific applications. The fine-tuned model in this listing can be deployed directly to Databricks Model Serving for immediate use, or loaded for fine-tuning or batch inference use cases.
