Model Card
This model is pretrained Based model. Based is strong at recalling information provided in context, despite using a fixed amount of memory during inference.
As a quality reference, we include a pretrained Attention (Llama architecture) model provided here: https://huggingface.co/hazyresearch/attn-1b, and Mamba model provided here: https://huggingface.co/hazyresearch/mamba-1b
All three checkpoints are pretrained on 10Bn tokens of the Pile in the exact same data order using next token prediction.
Model Sources
The model implementation and training code that produced the model are provided here: https://github.com/HazyResearch/based
Uses
The purpose of this work is to evaluate the language modeling quality of a new efficient architecture, Based.
We include a series of benchmarks that you can use to evaluate quality:
- FDA: https://huggingface.co/datasets/hazyresearch/based-fda
- SWDE: https://huggingface.co/datasets/hazyresearch/based-swde
- SQUAD: https://huggingface.co/datasets/hazyresearch/based-squad
