"(...) Just as with Llama 2, Falcon’s documentation does not explain the specific limitations added on top of the canonical open-source release model.

I ran Falcon-180b on a freshly installed system (just to make sure it was not me having a weird set of library versions). I still have the same auth issue with HuggingFace Hub. It’s ok (my patch works!) but I wonder if out of all those talking about the new Falcon model (including a few who put together tutorials) there’s anyone who has tried to download it from HF and run it (not its demo!) since it has been made public 🤔

New Open Source #LLM — #HuggingFace’s #Falcon180B — With Zero Guardrails Rivals #Google's #PaLM2

I hope this sparks serious debate in the #GenerativeAI community on the advisability of #foundationmodels with no safety/trust layers.

The Abu Dhabi government's Technology Innovation Institute released #Falcon180B - the largest openly available #LargeLanguageModel.

It contains 180 billion parameters and outperforms GPT-3.5 on the MMLU benchmark.

Trying to run Falcon 180B I got stuck with HF Hub authentication issues despite providing the correct token. Looking into HF Hub code, I found the URLs provided to download the model are slightly different from those returned with metadata: the former contain "falcon-180b", the latter "falcon-180B". Funnily enough, differing URLs are considered as a redirect and what HF Hub code does is... pop the authentication out from the headers 🤦‍♂️
