Released October 20222K context≈ 1,536 words1.7B params

A compact, lightweight model running on 4-bit weight quantization, making it highly memory-efficient at the cost of some precision. It handles straightforward text tasks within a tight 2048-token context window, so it works best when conversations stay concise. The quantization trade-off means it may show slightly degraded coherence compared to its full-precision counterpart.

Glossary

CoherenceThe quality of maintaining consistent meaning and logical flow across multiple sentences or exchanges in a conversation.Context WindowThe maximum number of tokens a model can process in a single conversation or prompt.Full-PrecisionA model using standard 32-bit floating-point numbers to represent weights, providing maximum accuracy but requiring more memory.Lightweight ModelA smaller, more efficient model designed to run quickly and use less memory than larger alternatives, often with some trade-off in reasoning capability.PrecisionThe level of numerical detail a model uses to represent its internal values; higher precision means more accurate calculations but requires more memory.QuantizationReducing a model's numerical precision (e.g., from 16-bit to 4-bit) to shrink memory usage and speed up inference.TokenA small unit of text (a word, subword, or punctuation mark) that a language model breaks input into for processing.Weight QuantizationA specific type of quantization that compresses only the model's learned parameters (weights) while keeping other calculations at higher precision.
