How is it faster that other 7b models using pytorch?

Architecture details matter.

"DeciLM-7B’s superior performance is rooted in its strategic implementation of variable Grouped Query Attention (GQA), a significant enhancement over traditional Multi-Query Attention (MQA) and standard GQA."

Ignoring the fact that this is a 1 day old account, why should I care that this LLM's bars are larger and numbers bigger? Is this corporate blogpost actually good content for anyone? What is the appeal other than "yup, that blue bar sure is longer than the other color bars."?

Several reasons come to mind:

- AI regulation is partly based on the number of parameters

- It's generally accepted that bigger models perform better, so counterexamples to that notion are valuable

- Smaller models are needed for local, offline processing with current hardware

Well, it should show that there is a new better 7B model under Apache license, something that will prove in practice.

> The Fastest and Most Accurate 7B-Parameter LLM to Date There's plainly 7B models that surpass it on https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderb... Am I missing something?

You have to look at the pre-trained models and not the "tuned" models. Its number one in that category (which is what I think they are referring to, given the benchmarks are against Mistral and llama)

thanks for the clarification

Doesn't the article say this is a LoRA off ORCA? Isn't that a finetune?

Just one observation. This model seems "less" multilingual than LLAMA and Mistral. I always ask in Portuguese "What is the capital of Bahia?"/ "Qual a capital da Bahia?" and DeciLM answered wrong and in English ( it said it was Brasilia, the right answer is Salvador). The other models replied correctly.

Doesn't say it on their announcement blog post, but the huggingface page says this model is english only. Unfortunate, imho. https://huggingface.co/Deci/DeciLM-7B

It's fine if you don't care. Nobody needs to care about everything. But why post your comment? It doesn't add anything to discussion.

For me I care about different companies reaching mistral level so that mistral or whoever is in top has to release the model weights else competitors will.
